Islamic militants claim to have hacked into a U.S. Army computer system based in South Korea. The militants were able to seize control of the system in June 2004, but “did not seek to [immediately] destroy the system… in order to spy on them.” To prove the veracity of these claims, the hackers produced a screenshot of the Windows desktop from the hijacked military computer, along with several files covertly downloaded from the system.
