Computer and e-mail systems are off-line at the Naval War College following
a network intrusion Nov. 15. After the attack, the Defense Department
raised its information warfare awareness level to Information Condition
(Infocon) 4.

Navy officials declined to comment on the source of the attack.

The attack was an insolated incident and has not affected other parts of
DOD, [an official] said. Meanwhile, the college’s systems have been
removed from DOD’s Global Information Grid so that investigators can
examine the extent of the intrusion and upgrade firewalls and other
security measures, [the official] said.
