From The Danger Room:

Back in May of 2008, a Pentagon's Inspector General report surfaced, alleging that the Defense Department wasn't keeping close enough watch over the contractors working on its most important aircraft program. In particular, defense contractor BAE Systems wasn't letting the Pentagon in on its security records about the $337 billion Joint Strike Fighter program.

My Comment: They tell us to not worry .... that nothing sensitive was grabbed.

I do not believe them. I wrote about this last year, and I mentioned that if they had nothing to hide, they would not be spending their time blocking attempts to understand the security protocols that they have in place.

We now know that there has been a cyber attack .... but the problem is that the extent of this penetration will probably never be accurately known. It is this unknown factor that scares me more than the cyber attack itself.
