FBI shuts down unclassified e-mail systemAgency investigating possible security breachThe Associated Press Updated: 3:19 p.m. ET Feb. 4, 2005WASHINGTON - The FBI said Friday it has shut down an e-mail system that it uses to communicate with the public because of a possible security breach. The bureau is investigating whether someone hacked into the www.fbi.gov e-mail system, which is run by a private company, officials said. "We use these accounts to communicate with you folks, view internet sites, and conduct other non-sensitive bureau business such as sending out press releases," Special Agent Steve Lazarus, the FBI's media coordinator in Atlanta, said in an e-mail describing the problem. The FBI computer system that is used for case files, classified and sensitive information, and internal communications is unaffected, Lazarus said. The bureau is in the process of switching its e-mail accounts, officials said. source: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6914499 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
