Picture- Littoral combat ship
Among the weapon systems and technology breached are the F-35 Multi role fighter, Littoral Combat Ship, the Osprey, Ballistic missile defense systems, Patriot missile batteries and the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System (THAAD) which is basically an improved patriot missile battery.

Also the Australian equivalent of the CIA was also cyber breached by Chinese hackers and they stole information from them as well. I think some extreme measures need to be taken to get China to back off, not militarily but certainly economically. We definitely need to ramp up cyber security because it really looks like were falling behind here, this is getting ridiculous the stuff leaked here is literally the future of our armed forces.
So Flood what do you think?

I work in the space. I don't know why they haven't contacted me yet about this. I would hope that they would contact me about a major security breach. What they took makes no sense, the Osprey had it's designs go public a while back. The THAAD is nothing really special, and they have the resources to develop it themselves. (also THAAD is a missile defense system not just a battery) And they have some cheap reproduction of everything else on that list, but I'll call my friends in the navy just to make sure. We have so much more. Their targets just don't make any sense, we have a lot larger cashes of more secret designs. Still makes me uneasy that they managed to hack into our systems though.
