Main DDS database hacked?

The DDS earlier today performed an emergency shut down of it's main computer system and closed all communication ports. For a while the DDS was cut off from the rest of the galaxy but limited access was later restored. It is rumoured that the main DDS database was being hacked into by an unknown power but suspected as being the Bolitic.

Its not known how much data the Bolitic managed to get access to but the levels of protection put in by the DDS which were supposed to be "unhackable" obviously were not. A DDS officer off the record said that some data may have been taken such as ship locations, crew allocations and code ciphers. The DDS are said to be changing their ciphers at the moment.

Technical data on weapons such as TPM is not in this database rather the DDS Technical Database maintained by DDS Research, though this is known to have been a target by a number of foreign powers.
