Hackers hit U.S. Army computers
An AP newswire article by Jon Sarche, via The Globe and Mail, reports that:
Thieves stole computer equipment from Fort Carson containing soldiers' Social Security numbers and other personal records, the Army said Monday.
Post spokeswoman Dee McNutt said she did not know how many soldiers' records were involved but that no cases of identity theft had been reported.
Among Fort Carson's soldiers are thousands who are serving in Iraq, including members of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment.
Computers or hard drives were stolen in mid-August from a building on the post in Colorado Springs where soldiers get identification cards and update their personnel records, McNutt said.
Records taken also included soldiers' date of birth, rank, unit, citizenship and job.
