America's Army Threatens Hackers

InformationWeek.com is reporting the American taxpayer funded video game/recruitment tool America's Army has a few "security holes", of which hackers have started to take advantage. The producers of the game have a warning for these hackers: "The Army is angry, and we're coming for you". According to article, executive producer Phil DeLuca posted on the AA site, "We know who you are, and can track down where you play from", then states he'll have help from, "the Department of Justice, the Secret Service, and the Federal Bureau of Investigations." In case that warning isn't enough, DeLuca reminds the hackers of the lesson Japan learned in the 1940s. Which lesson is that, Paul? Are you going to nuke the hackers? My guess is it was the Japanese reference that caused the removal of threat from the America's Army website.
