US Govt. PCs attacked with flash drive

The Pentagon says a foreign spy agency pulled off the most serious breach of Defense Department computer networks ever by inserting a flash drive into a U.S. military laptop.
 
Now I bet the Pentagon wishes it had gone the smart way and done a Google and got rid of Windows on sensitive networks.
 
SkyNet

The Pentagon did not say what nation's spy agency was involved.
He did not say what, if any, information was taken.
