WASHINGTON, May 10 (Xinhuanet) -- The FBI confirmed a New York Times report Tuesday that a breach of a Cisco Systems network by a hacker last year was part of a broader campaign targeting computer systems run by US government and military installations.

    The investigation is focused on a 16-year-old boy in Uppsala, Sweden. The Times reported that the youth cleverly organized computers, automating the theft of computer log-ins and passwords.

    In May 2004, a portion of Cisco's Internetworking Operating System source code was illegally copied and posted on a foreign Web site for several days.

    The Times reported that the hacker claimed to have also infiltrated computer systems at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland, the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

    Officials at some of those facilities confirmed to the Times that their computers had been breached but said the information obtained was insignificant.T he FBI and the Swedish police said they were working together on the case and as a result, the criminal activity appears to have stopped.
