Please RT for reach: I’m trying to #FOIA records on computer intrusions into DOD systems during first Gulf War (1990), I have a GAO report which gives a high level summary but am looking for more.

Does anyone know what DOD department might have investigated #hacking back then?

Anyone else getting flurries of #FBI #FOIA response emails with broken links or files that you’ve previously been sent with new file names? I’ve gotten 18 emails in the last 24 hours, they’re still coming in. Something is broken.
