For the second time in two months, a major Defense Department educational
institution has shut down its computer and e-mail systems. The National
Defense University, located in Washington, D.C., is currently without
Internet or e-mail while undergoing unspecified maintenance activities.

NDU is no longer connected to DOD networks and staff and students will be
without service for two to four weeks, according to Dave Thomas, NDU’s
director of public affairs. Thomas declined to comment on the reasons for
the maintenance and could not confirm or deny whether there had been a
recent network intrusion at NDU.

“I won’t acknowledge one way or the other security issues with the
system,” he said.
