First the Globe and Mail is running an AP story that the FBI’s external email system has been hacked, and is being shut down until the scope of the security breach has been determined.

SAIC, which has annual revenue of about $7-billion (U.S.), is involved in some of the U.S. government’s most sensitive work, from redesigning Army combat systems to bioweapons defence and improving electronic snooping for the National Security Agency.
