The lieutenant colonel, who was on a field trip with his soldiers at the time of the apparent theft, said he left his computer at his desk in his office. However, an officer who was on-call at the time the computer was stolen says it was not in the office. According to military protocol, a laptop computer containing classified material must be kept locked in the base's vault. The commander was sentenced to two weeks in a military prison. Military police are investigating the circumstances that led to the disappearance of the computer. _________________________________________ Network Security - http://www.auditmypc.com Free vulnerability test - How secure is your computer?
