Last night the same group targeted 2 Defense MegaCenter Web sites run by
the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). Both sites were of Defense
Enterprise Computing Centers - one based in St. Louis and the other in San
Diego:

DISA is tasked "to plan, engineer, develop, test, manage programs,
acquire, implement, operate, and maintain information systems for C4I and
mission support under all conditions of peace and war" and ironically
claims to be "helping protect against, detect and react to threats to both
its information infrastructure and information sources."
