U.S Navy Shuts Down Computer Named “Gestapo”

The U.S. Navy spokesman at the Pentagon Lt. Mike Kafka admitted that the Navy shut down a computer server operated by the Commander Naval Reserve Recruiting Command (CNRRC) in New Orleans, LA named “gestapo” on Friday June 25. The computer server named “gestapo” was discovered by a reporter investigating harassment and cyber-stalking of Muslim journalists after learning that the suspicious World Wide Web server had hit on a personal webpage and the web host name “gestapo.cnrrc.nola.navy.mil” had turned up in its website statistics. Further investigation revealed that “gestapo” also visited a computer in the Goddard Space Flight Center at NASA on March 26, 2004 and a computer at Colorado State University in July 2002. (...) Name Server records for “gestapo” also revealed that the parent web server for “gestapo” called “cnrrc-k2.cnrrc.nola.navy.mil” (...).
