US Navy Shut Down Computer Called "Gestapo"

By Edward Campbell TUCSON, June 28—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. The Department of Defense Network Information Center in Vienna, VA had no record of a computer named “gestapo” because it was a fifth level domain name. The DoD Network Information Center does not register domains beyond the 4th level.
