Defense Contract Management Agency Probes Hack
Summary: The Defense Contract Management Agency detected suspicious activity on a public-facing server on January 28 and took its public website offline for nearly two weeks while investigating. A cyber protection team from Joint Forces Headquarters, Department of Defense Information Network is assisting, and DCMA spokesman David Wray said no DCMA, DoD, Defense Industrial Base data or personal identification information had been breached.
What you should know: DCMA sources told Krebs the problems extended beyond the public site to internal systems employees use for telework to review federal contracts between external companies and the Department of Defense, including Foreign Military Sales work - so the stated scope of the outage and the reported scope of the disruption do not match.
