document.write('    The &quot;most significant breach of U.S. military computers ever&quot; occurred in 2008, according to Deputy Secretary of Defense William J. Lynn. Was it a well-coordinated cyberattack that penetrated the Pentagon\'s network defenses? Not exactly. In this case, attackers simply plugged a USB key into one military laptop that unleased a computer worm. The worm in turn spread to many other computers within the U.S. private network and caused them to open up connections to the outside through which data could be siphoned.    The same type of breach could easily happen on home networks too, which is why it is important to keep your laptops physically guarded whenever traveling.    &#8594; More - Defending a New Domain - The Pentagon\'s Cyberstrategy (foreignaffairs.com)  &#8594; See also - Sensitive U.S. Government Data Found on LimeWire (2009)      U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense William L.
