Chinese hakers accessed F-35 designs after breaking into U.S system.
"Chinese hackers have accessed designs for dozens of advanced U.S. weapons and stolen plans for Australia’s new spy headquarters, according to two separate reports from opposite sides of the globe.
China has dismissed both reports.
The Washington Post reported Monday that cyber-thieves broke into American systems and accessed the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the U.S. Navy’s Aegis ballistic missile defence systems, the Patriot missile system and the Black Hawk helicopter.
The Defense Science Board report the Washington Post cited didn’t comment on the extent of the cyber-theft or whether government computer networks had been involved, that cyber-thieves broke into American systems and accessed the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the U.S. Navy’s Aegis ballistic missile defence systems, the Patriot missile system and the Black Hawk helicopter.

China, which is pursuing a comprehensive long-term strategy to modernize its military, is investing in ways to overcome the U.S. military advantage"
In my opinion this news is very shoking because nowadays hackers are the most important soldiers in the armies. Informatic world is very powerful and this is a very good example. Probably if the chinese hackers would kill lots of people they could do it. Also they could start a new world war with U.S in the focus. The countries must improve security systems because hackers are improving their power in the XXI century. Informatics have accessed the F-35 and it costs milons of euros, it isn't just a killing toy. Nowadays' weapons have a huge capacity of destruction, and we have to take care of them if we would live in a "peaceful" world.
I thought that was imposible that a group of people in a computer room could access in a hight secret system from the other part of the world as they did. But now I have seen that it is posible and I'm more afraid than before because our weapons don't stop improving, when will it finish?.
