Moonlight Maze
Moonlight Maze is the name of an FBI inquiry into a cyber attack on United States government networks that began in 1998.[1][2][3]
On September 20, 1999, Newsweek printed a story on Moonlight Maze that was written by Gregory Vistica. It was titled "'We're in the middle of a cyberwar'," based on a quote from then-Deputy Secretary of Defense John Hamre.[4] However, this was refuted shortly thereafter in an article by Federal Computer Week's Dan Verton.
