Chinese hackers compromise US weapons' designs: Report

[tranquilium]

Damn those engineers posting their military secrets on Facebook.

Are the Chinese that powerful that they take out the Americans at will? Are the Americans so weak that they cannot even defend themselves against regular Chinese attacks?

What about the Philipines and the Japanese? Has China already brought them to their knees?

Are you serious about that? There is nothing in the Pentagon report that says how deep are the penetrations. For all we know, whatever the Chinese got, they could have gotten the same by hacking IEEE archives.

But if you want to know who has the ultimate power, it is US. With an Executive Order, the US President could remove China from the Web for a measly five minutes and China will cry 'Uncle'.

There seems to be a lot of schadenfreude in Germany.

It's the Americans who are always crying about Chinese attacks with no ability to stop them it would seem. I don't hear the Chinese complaining about American attacks, if any.

I think the Chinese are too powerful for the Americans in cyber warfare.

May be because we are too good to get busted.

Sure...You go on believing that...

@gambit, I remember back in the 1990s how common Americans were lead to believe by their own government regarding American supremacy over the North Koreans. Hollywood would regularly produce fantacies where they would show how USAF aircrafts would woosh here and woosh there, taking out the North Korean installations before the North Koreans were able to acquire the atomic bomb.

After 3 North Korean nuclear tests, what happened? Where's American supremacy?

At one time, the common Americans were lead to believe that if the North Koreans ever acquired the nukes, it'll be doomsday scenario for the United States. However, as soon the North Koreans carried out their first nuclear test back in October 9, 2006, the Americans have since been lead to believe that the North Koreans don't have the capability to miniaturise the nuke small enough to fit in their ballistic missiles.

Point being, are you that sure of American supremacy over the Chinese in cyber warfare?

You confused hesitancy to use force with inability to use force. That tells me much about your maturity in understanding these matters.

Point being, are you that sure of American supremacy over the Chinese in cyber warfare?

Am not the one making claims about supremacy here. YOU are and you are rooting for the Chinese.

@gambit, oakie dokie. Peace.

Well, coming out of a technical point of view and into a Practical point of view.

If your country (I don't really care where you are from) stole something so called "Top Secret" US military design, will you post it to face book??

First of all, if I successfully steal anything from another country, I will NOT PUBLICITY advertise about it, if I know for sure the other side do not know, I will retain the method for future use. Why would I publish my connection to the secret? To shut me down next time??

Secondly, if I really do get the latest information, will I publish it so that the American can change their plan?? I hardly think so.

In the Intel game, there are a thing called 'Misinformation" will this be a "I let you get my useless stuff, so I know how you get in"

Honestly, everybody studied computer know, a good hacking is a hacking you NEVER HEARD of until it hit you in the face? Why go public?? So that you say "I make a fool out of you" is valued a lot more than your actual intel??

People are more interested in poking US in the eye than about making sense. They do not believe that the US military have no problems with foreigners believing we are incompetent. The potential that Chinese crackers walked into a 'honeypot' is beyond comprehension.

Show ur guys a America YF-23 blueprint here, research it and build urself own YF-23 aircraft body in ur home =D
Don't thanks me, thanks the internet ... (BTW did CIA will knock at my door and check my house's watermeter ?!)

lol started to think the whole thing is a scam, they probably just needed the attention
