United States Department of Defense

The computer system of the US defense department was targeted by a cyber attack after a computer hacker stole hundreds of user accounts from a US military communications system.

Additionally, NCA investigators discovered that Caffrey's machines were used to open and run a pseudonymous online messaging account connected to the attack.

The compromised data includes usernames and email addresses of more than 800 users of a satellite communications system, as well as of about 30,000 satellite phones.

According to the DoD, it cost about $628,000 to repair the harm the hacker's infiltration caused.
