Please RT for reach: I’m trying to #FOIA records on computer intrusions into DOD systems during first Gulf War (1990), I have a GAO report which gives a high level summary but am looking for more.
Does anyone know what DOD department might have investigated #hacking back then?
@realhackhistory
You have stummbled into something interesting here. The agency most directly of intrest would probably be DISA(https://www.disa.mil/about/legal-and-regulatory/freedom-of-info-act-program), but they formed in '91 from a peculiar restructuring of DCA. The restructuring was explained as being due to expanded responsibilities handed to the agency in '89, but there have been more significant changes before and after that didn't require a restructuring.
@realhackhistory
DISA is the current organization. They are literally what was DCA(Defense Communications Agency) with expanded IT responsibilities. DCA dates back to the 60's. Since then they have been the architect of all DOD communication networks.
@realhackhistory I believe this was described by @rohy in the book on Dutch hacking history that was published last year. Maybe he has references to the source material.
