Mitsubushi hack - worse than originally claimed.

[RedRed]

In the August hack of Mitsibushi Heavy, it appears that significant military technology was stolen.

Mitsubishi heavy produces, under licence the f-15, as well as the control systems of the Raytheon Patriot missile.

They also produce a range of attack submarines, costal patrol craft, destroyers etc.

Probably the same crew that hacked into the lower House of Japan's legislature last summer. It was a month before the govt. caught on, so who knows what info was stolen? They also hacked into Lockheed Martin and IIRC Northrop Grumman here.

China's just begging for a close encounter of the Stuxnet kind (Stuxnet was a US - Israeli cyberweapon targeting Iran's uranium centrifuges)

I think conventional wars between big countries, who have nukes, are passe. It's much better to do cyber attack, trade war, proxy war, buy companies, buy trade secrets, take over spheres of influence.

With cyber attacks it's even better as you can deny responsibility or blame it on someone else and even if they know you did it, they cannot openly declare war.
