Breaking: Chinese hackers access major weapons systems

Why do many of these weapons systems have access to the Internet? Any info regarding these weapons or communications between people who keep these weapons protected should be done over paper and not Internet.

WASHINGTON/CANBERRA - Chinese hackers have gained access to designs of more than two dozen major U.S. weapons systems, a U.S. report said on Monday, as Australian media said Chinese hackers had stolen the blueprints for Australia's new spy headquarters.

Citing a report prepared for the Defense Department by the Defense Science Board, the Washington Post said the compromised U.S. designs included those for combat aircraft and ships, as well as missile defenses vital for Europe, Asia and the Gulf.

Among the weapons listed in the report were the advanced Patriot missile system, the Navy's Aegis ballistic missile defense systems, the F/A-18 fighter jet, the V-22 Osprey, the Black Hawk helicopter and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

Breaking: Chinese hackers access major weapons systems designs.

There you go, fixed it for you. You don't have to thank me.

Anyone remember a year or two ago when he had some joint training exercises where the Chinese and/or Russians were accessing pentagon and various other things. I don't remember the specific details but there were threads about it at the time.

Gee, whoever would have thunk it.

I thought Bill Clinton already gave them that in the 90's

You are just learning this...

yea they were probably hired by the US to exploit cyber security to give up more of your rights. Remember stux-net?

They don't, obviously. Unless military weapons analyst are dumber than 12 year-olds

It's a media psyop.

So is this a bad thing or a good thing? No matter how hard they try and how successful they become our secret government has time travel and can change any outcome to their advantage. Something to think about, isn't it?

Yea why is that the U.S always saying it have the best security, yet is hacked all the time?

This isn't a huge problem, its's if they get their hands on ray guns that we should start to worry.

Probably through "Back Doors" they've put into all of their computer components that we're busy shoving into our Robbie-the-Robot Advance Weapons Systems kits...

Well, the first step in war is to take out communications.

yeppers

I Was here first.

Fear mongering.

I read the Chinese build chips with backdoor access. And we STILL buy chips from them...

"Chinese hackers have gained access to designs of more than two dozen major U.S. weapons systems..."

Looks like Israel has betrayed us yet again. Is anyone surprised?

He did, they're just updating.

Yup, insanity.

Man if any of you think that the defense system is on a open internet connection, you need to be hit in the head with a tack hammer. U.S. government uses intranet not the internet. This is bullshit false flag reporting at its best.

Of course, anything to save a penny.

China is developing faster and faster

^^This^^ All done for a purpose..

I hope it is on a closed system but doesn't change the fact it can still be hacked.

Just like that guy who hacked into the Pentagon with a blank username and password.

If you people think for one second our military secrets aren't on self contained unhackable networks you are dumber than the people pushing these stories.

Yes and how many years ago was that? 15 or 20? lol.
