"Over the June 3, 2006, weekend, USDA cyber security staffers monitoring our 
systems detected some suspicious activity involving an Office of Operations 
*workstation and two servers* containing employee personal data. The indication 
was that someone from outside of USDA was attempting to gain unauthorized 
access to the system"
