WOW!!!! That's a ton of games and software!!  But boy I would LOVE to get my hands on that Apache helicopter training software. Its one of my dreams to fly a gunship like that. But they had it coming to them because how much freaking money they stole worth of games and software. Plus they stole from the military and you never want to do anything stupid such as that.  I bet if they stole some games and software ranging around $20K they would of not been caught. The more you up the money your going to steal worth of things the more likely your going to get caught plan and simple. But of course there are those thieves who dont get caught which is a slight few in which I do hope those get caught too.

    Sounds like a real Fun Game they Played.
    Now lets hope their prize is at least 20 Years at Hard Labor and Life at Hard Labor if any of the data was Classified.

    Merchandise only has value if someone actually wanted it for that much.
     
    The real news is an US Army site was susceptible to script kitty SQL injection methods. That should be the real write up. The military is rather adamant about maintaining opsec.

    Agree with Brad.  Security folks here need to be more steadfast.  We are getting much stolen from Russia and China and now from kids wanting better game play.  This all amazes me.
