The United States Army website (army.mil) is down right now after being hacked. The Pentagon is reporting the site is down for everyone right now, so does this website. FOX News just reported this as breaking news at 3:10 PM EST. I have not found a story out yet, but will update when I find one!

wow!

 

Just another website hacked. Not really anything big. They're most likely just trying to gain attention. I doubt it has anything to do with terrorism or shit like that.

Yeah, website hacks don't mean shit. They don't have top secret stuff on the same server as they're hosting the site.

​I completely agree, I just wanted to say that it happened.

​Slow news day, huh?

Nothing too thrilling about the U.S. Army recruitment website being taken down. No crucial information, data, or files. The hackers are just trying to grab attention, hopefully the CIA or FBI captures them.

​Yea, Indiana is kind of boring right now :/. Its not night time yet, that's when the news will get good.

​Actually the Army recruitment site is goarmy.com if I remember correctly. The army.mil website is just the standard Army home page and has some information and resources for service members. This is the first I'm hearing of this and I'm in the Army so that just goes to show how much it affected our jobs, lol.

 

And you are correct, there wouldn't be any classified information on a "green side" network. There are various networks for each level of classification. NIPR (aka green side) for Unclassified (basically it is just the regular internet), SIPR (aka red side) for everything up to Secret, and there are various networks for Top Secret depending on who you work for and what information you are trying to find. Each network is completely separate and they don't cross with each other.

To quote XKCD:

Taking down a website is not really a very big deal. Even if it was broken into, as l3ubba said the DoD has several separate networks, not connected to each other. I suspect army.mil is in fact on none of those, because there's no reason to have it on any of the DoD's operations networks.

Always good to get information from a primary source. I take my ASVAB Saturday! See what MoS I get.... :)

​Good luck. If the MOS you want isn't available don't settle for something that you don't really like. There isn't any rush to pick an MOS. MOS' open and close all the time, so if there is something you really want just tell your recruiter to let you know when an opening becomes available. And depending on the MOS you want you might be able to negotiate a school into your contract (I got airborne school in my contract). Let me know if you have any questions about MOS', contracts, or anything in general.

​Appreciate it man, seriously. Heading to take the ASVAB right now, I'll definitely keep you in contact. Thanks again for the help.
