Snowden leaks allege China 'stole' key designs of F-35 fighter plane

[Oracle]

if its true then there is no need to buy F35 when a cheaper FC31 is available after hacking and applying same tech ? right

Hey @Raphael, next time could you stop posting those anti-China western tabloids?

Do you think hacking the classified military technology is funny?

We didn't even do it, while the US is also not stupid to let us doing that.

We are working our butt off, and now you are giving the US the excuses to claim all of our credits.

hey why are you dictating someone's wishes?

China always win., US cyber-security is so weak.

Washington Post report on the National Intelligence Estimate on Feb 2013. Giving no details other than US is a target. The article did not directly accuse China for the breach, but said China is the most active in hacking, more than Russia, Israel and France.

And then Pentagon accused China in Washington Post dated 6 May 2013,
Pentagon: Chinese government, military behind cyberspying - The Washington Post

Cyber-espionage targeting U.S. government and business entities appears “to be attributable to the Chinese government and military,” the Pentagon charged Monday

There is no mention of the NIE report aforementioned.

Snowden went to Hong Kong on 20 May 2013.

On 27 May 2013, Washington Post list some of the systems compromised.
Confidential report lists U.S. weapons system designs compromised by Chinese cyberspies - The Washington Post

The Defense Science Board, a senior advisory group made up of government and civilian experts, did not accuse the Chinese of stealing the designs. But senior military and industry officials with knowledge of the breaches said the vast majority were part of a widening Chinese campaign of espionage against U.S. defense contractors and government agencies.

And now, in 2015, Snowden give further details of that NIE report (which did not accuse China) that 50 terabytes were stolen.

Appeared to, believed, most active therefore must be the one, lots and lots of innuendo. The report is a list of breached system lumped together in 2007. Is there evident that they are all related to one single or even a few intruder? Doesn't pentagon or the defense industry knows that their information worth a lot of money and would be hacked by anyone that is capable?

US need a scapegoat for her incompetent. Therefore there is a need for the super-duper capable Chinese state sponsored hacker. Anything less would only further reveal their deficiency.

The Washington post article that was referred to,

Confidential report lists U.S. weapons system designs compromised by Chinese cyberspies
By Ellen Nakashima May 27, 2013 Follow @nakashimae

Designs for many of the nation’s most sensitive advanced weapons systems have been compromised by Chinese hackers, according to a report prepared for the Pentagon and to officials from government and the defense industry.

Among more than two dozen major weapons systems whose designs were breached were programs critical to U.S. missile defenses and combat aircraft and ships, according to a previously undisclosed section of a confidential report prepared for Pentagon leaders by the Defense Science Board.

Experts warn that the electronic intrusions gave China access to advanced technology that could accelerate the development of its weapons systems and weaken the U.S. military advantage in a future conflict.

The Defense Science Board, a senior advisory group made up of government and civilian experts, did not accuse the Chinese of stealing the designs. But senior military and industry officials with knowledge of the breaches said the vast majority were part of a widening Chinese campaign of espionage against U.S. defense contractors and government agencies.

The significance and extent of the targets help explain why the Obama administration has escalated its warnings to the Chinese government to stop what Washington sees as rampant cybertheft.

In January, the advisory panel warned in the public version of its report that the Pentagon is unprepared to counter a full-scale cyber-conflict. The list of compromised weapons designs is contained in a confidential version, and it was provided to The Washington Post.

Some of the weapons form the backbone of the Pentagon’s regional missile defense for Asia, Europe and the Persian Gulf. The designs included those for the advanced Patriot missile system, known as PAC-3; an Army system for shooting down ballistic missiles, known as the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD; and the Navy’s Aegis ballistic-missile defense system.


Also identified in the report are vital combat aircraft and ships, including the F/A-18 fighter jet, the V-22 Osprey, the Black Hawk helicopter and the Navy’s new Littoral Combat Ship, which is designed to patrol waters close to shore.


Also on the list is the most expensive weapons system ever built — the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, which is on track to cost about $1.4 trillion. The 2007 hack of that project was reported previously.

Look like the pentagon drop the ball big times.

Americans serving in the military should be worry.

Might end up in the receiving end of a turkey shot.

Run while you can !!

IF cyber hacking to get tech is so easy, why spend the money on R&D? I wouldn't take the article too serious.

If what you're saying is true, shouldn't China's HGV tests explode like yours do?

The US can mix false info with real info, but Chinese scientists are smart enough to see that, after all most of the foreign engineer students in the US are Chinese
