The U.S. Navy took one of its websites offline Tuesday and added new security controls to a second site after Internet surfers discovered they could access confidential Navy databases. The exposed Navy files included material designed to support a machine for testing the electronics of weapon systems called the Consolidated Automated Support System. Web surfers were able to browse through hundreds of trouble tickets, dating back to 1989. Also accessible by Internet users was a site operated by the Naval Supply Systems Command that enables Navy personnel to order commercial software or internally developed applications. One section of the database, known as QUADS, allowed visitors to pull up records on who registered to use the system and included their passwords.

Some of the most sought-after evidence is now e-mail and electronic files, and a new training center will teach investigators how to find it. Federal agents and prosecutors, police departments, professors and business leaders in Pittsburgh and West Virginia have joined forces to create the National Cyber Forensics and Training Alliance, which is being touted as the first of its kind in the country. "It is the first one to get off the ground and is being promoted by us as a model for the nation," said Richard Johnson, director of the National White-Collar Crime Center in Morgantown, W. Va. "The alliance is certainly unique."
