Computer Spies Breach $300B Fighter-Jet Project

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the we're-still-number-one-at-this dept.

suraj.sun writes "Computer spies have broken into the Pentagon's $300 billion Joint Strike Fighter project — the Defense Department's costliest weapons program ever — according to current and former government officials familiar with the attacks. Similar incidents have also breached the Air Force's air-traffic-control system in recent months, these people say. In the case of the fighter-jet program, the intruders were able to copy and siphon off several terabytes of data related to design and electronics systems, officials say, potentially making it easier to defend against the craft."

    Whoever allowed that data to be connected to the web should have their security clearance yanked, and be fired.

    What the fuck will it take a COMMANDER with a god damned sledge hammer to fix the fucking pentagon computer security?

    Actually they're likely so corrupt, they would send an airman out to do it.

    Pentagon security needs a CLEANSING. Everyone there needs to have their clearance revoked!

    And finally, this is the premeditated chronologically timed public news release on how US computer sucks. Now they have enough mainstream fascist seed test articles, with a successful moderated, censored feedback, the next thing they will roll out is the FIX. And you can fucking guarantee they will take some new civil right away to fix it.

    They provided the PROBLEM, and now they will provide the FIX.

    It's incompetent leadership, letting secrets go. It's GENIUS leadership, to crack down on American civil rights and privacy.

    Fuck every one of these fuckers, If I was GOD for a day, I would fire everyone in the Pentagon. I would them a chance to prove their security clearance and potentially get their job back, but NO Iran/Contra people, no Vietnam/Cambodia people, no Rockafella's, no kissingers, enough of this fucking shit already.

    CIA warns bla bla about SCADIA every fucking 2 months.

    This is a fucking massive setup!

    They don't hook DAMS to SCADIA, they have PEOPLE PHYSICALLY THERE! Don't be so fucking gullible, our government is no longer controlled by people, so they lie to us, you want control again?

    Outlaw all electronic vote tabulation devices in our elections. FUck your Open source vs Closed source shit. IT IS THE HARDWARE BITCH!
