Subject: [Fwd: Edwards AFB shut down by W32Blaster] (fwd)
Computer systems at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., were shut down this
week as a result of the "Blaster" computer worm.
The desert base is home to the Air Force Flight Test Center, which conducts
work on the B-2 and B-1B bombers, the airborne laser, the Global Hawk unmanned
aerial vehicle, the new F-22 Raptor jet fighter, the Joint Strike Fighter and
other high-tech weapons.
"We stopped access to our base computer network Monday about 2 p.m. because
of the Blaster worm," said Air Force Lt. Col. Kerry Humphrey, a base spokeswoman.
"We don't know how much damage was done, but we're slowly but surely
getting our system back on line."
