| Quote: | The Spanish Civil Guard has revealed that it has detained one person and is questioning four others as a result of an investigation into a hacker attack on a US Navy computer.
The operation, named “Navy” by the Spanish investigators, was started after a computer belonging to the Port Loma navy base in San Diego California was breached. This seriously compromised the security of the nuclear submarine dry dock, where the affected computer was located. Information security personnel at the base detected the attack and immediately informed the Naval Criminal Investigation Service. Preliminary investigation showed that the hacker was operating from Spain. The Spanish authorities were informed through diplomatic channels, and the Cyberterrorism Unit of the Spanish Civil Guard took up the investigation.
