United States Army--Publicly Accessible Information
Source: Government Computer News "Army Cleaning Up Web Sites"
From the article, "Col. Thaddeus Dmuchowski, director of information assurance in the Army's Chief Information Officer Office, said the service was "caught blindsided" when it first learned of more than 70 examples of publicly accessible Army Web sites containing "inappropriate information." Also from the article, "The latest problem, which was identified by the Army in the past week, involves "hidden" sites that are no longer visible to basic searches or indexes, but can still be found through more sophisticated digging. Dmuchowski likened it to a Microsoft Corp. PowerPoint presentation with hidden slides that may not be visible, but are still there."
