In the latest {Computerworld}, Michael Alexander has written another
interesting article.  "The hackers allegedly used an 800 number to
break into the computer, making it easy to identify them, Delaney
said."

"`The information gleaned from the computer is of unclassified,
administrative nature,' said Major Steve Headley of the Air Force
investigations office at Bollings Air Force Base in Washington, D.C.
`However, the office of special investigations of the Air Force is
concerned primarily that the act was criminal of itself and...while it
was innocuous, unclassified stuff, in aggregate, over a long period of
time, it could have meaning or be perhaps sensitive.'"
