SOCom says no military information on stolen laptops - St. Petersburg Times: "TAMPA — Thousands of laptops stolen from a private contractor for U.S. Special Operations Command contained no sensitive information, SOCom officials said Tuesday.
'There was no security breach of military information or software,' Maj. Denise Boyd said. 'No military software had been loaded onto the computers.'
Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Defense awarded the private company, iGov, a $450 million contract to supply mobile technology services linking special operations troops all over the world.
Tom Walsh, iGov's vice president of contracts, said Tuesday that the company is cooperating with authorities. He would not discuss the March 6 iGov break-in, which remained secret for months until Monday, when St. Petersburg Times reporters found it mentioned in a court document.
'It is an ongoing investigation,' Walsh said. 'At this point in time, we cannot issue any information or make any comment.'
