Hackers Steal 24,000 Files From Pentagon Contractor 
----------------------------------------------------



U.S. officials announced a new cyber-strategy just as the Pentagon
disclosed it suffered a major cyber-attack in March. Some 24,000
Pentagon files were stolen when foreign hackers broke into the computer
of a U.S. military contractor. Some of the seized material dealt with
what the Pentagon calls its "most sensitive systems," including
"surveillance technologies, satellite communications systems and network
security protocols."
