Marine Corps headquarters at Pentagon hit by computer virus
...Virus left blank pages
The attack left Marines around the Pentagon looking at blank pages where
documents had once resided. Norton installed anti-virus programs for
the Marines.
While the military is a popular target for computer hackers, the Marine
Corps official told CNN that Thursday's attack was from "a different
strain or a virus we have not seen before."
"You went into your files and they were all empty," he said.
Only computers at the Pentagon and the nearby Navy Annex to the Pentagon
were infected by the virus, the official said.
