[pchelpers] News:Computer virus strikes U.S. Marshals, FBI

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Law enforcement computers were struck by a mystery computer
virus Thursday, forcing the FBI and the U.S. Marshals to shut down part
of their networks as a precaution.

The U.S. Marshals confirmed it disconnected from the Justice
Department's computers as a protective measure after being hit by the
virus; an FBI official said only that that agency was experiencing
similar issues and was working on the problem.

"We too are evaluating a network issue on our external, unclassified
network that's affecting several government agencies," said FBI
spokesman Mike Kortan. He did not elaborate or identify the other
agencies.
