Hackers attacked the computer network at the Naval War College in Newport, taking down the school’s network for more than two weeks, including some e-mail services and the college’s Web site.

The Navy Cyber Defense Operations Command in Norfolk, Va., detected the intrusion around Nov. 16 and took the system offline, spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Doug Gabos said. He said the unclassified network was used by students.

Military spokesmen would not give an estimate on when the school’s Web site, http://www.nwc.navy.mil , will be back up.
