A few words about SIPRNet?

I'm posting it here because there's nowhere else.
- In light of all the hype around Wikileaks, I decided to find out a little more about how and where these very documents were stolen from. It is known that the United States invests astronomical amounts in its information security, the more surprising such a puncture looks. All documents hosted on Wikileaks were accessed on a closed network specially created for this purpose called SIPRNet. To my surprise, on Habré, I found only one mention of it, and then in the comments. I decided to fill this gap by collecting the information about SIPRNet that I was able to google into a single overview article for habr. Information about this network, I must say, is not much, and the one that is often very different, depending on the source.
So, SIPRNet (Secret Internet Protocol Router Network) is a closed computer network created in the early 1990s by American specialists to exchange classified information between government and military structures.
The network is collectively operated by four agencies of the US Department of Defense:

  • Office of Communications and Electronics of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (Joint Staff J-6 communications-electronics directorate of the Joint Chiefs of Staff)
  • National Security Agency
  • Defense Intelligence Agency
  • Defense Information Systems Agency
All four of these agencies are responsible, to varying degrees, for maintaining the stable operation of SIPRNet. In addition, an Accreditation Working Group has been created on their basis, which decides who will be given the right to access SIPRNet, and who will be deprived of it.

Right, I think. Let this be contrary to the rules of habr, but it is consistent with common sense. There is a habrauser, decent, not a troll, he has an article, where else to publish it? Asking another is forbidden. Begging for karma is forbidden and generally below the dignity of a normal person. So all the authors will scatter from the habr, pay attention, UFO!
