Joint Strike Fighter hack

The Department of Defense s costliest weapons program ever was allegedly no match for hackers as spies broke into the Pentagon s $300 billion Joint Strike. Fighter (JSF) project in 2007. Former U.S. officials claim the attacks can be traced back to China, a claim that China refuted. The source of the breach isn t publicly known, though fingers pointed to vulnerabilities in systems operated by defense contractor Lockheed Martin an accusation the company denied. By the time it was over, the attack allegedly spilled terabytes of encrypted information on the JSF.
