Subject: More on Pentagon satellite data outage (RISKS-20.72)
We noted in RISKS-20.72 that the Pentagon satellite intelligence system was
unable to process data for 2.5 hours after the midnight GMT Y2K rollover.
Apparently the situation was much worse than initially realized. UPI
reported on 12 Jan 2000 that the problem was actually self-inflicted,
resulting from a misguided supposedly preventive software patch in a
sensitive NRO intelligence program called Talent Keyhole at Fort Belvoir.
For the next few days, there was only a trickle of data from 5 satellites.

Subject: Kremlin press office Y2K problems (via Declan McCullagh)
The Kremlin press office's computer communication system was victimized by
Y2K, blocking their ability to send e-mail. Reportedly, they will have the
problem fixed by ``the end of the month''. [Source: Agence France Presse,
