China: Classified Documents on Submarine Leaked... Intel Authorities on Alert

(regarding) China's newest nuclear-powered submarine development

Classified information at China's Weapon's Industry Research Institute leaked by hacking

(Beijing=Yonhap News) Kwon Young-suk = Classified information on Chinese navy's submarine was leaked to foreign intelligence, and the Chinese intelligence authorities are on heightened alert.

China's Globe Daily reported on Dec. 14 that classified materials were stolen at China Weapon’s Industry Research Institute which does PLAN's submarine projects. The authorities said, "Foreign intelligence stole via Internet hacking all of top secret information and files on materials used for building China's submarine."

They said, "Computers for researchers at the institute are not allowed Internet connection. However, somebody broke the regulation and the computer which stores secret documents was connected to Internet, and attacked by spies."

According to them, the researcher in question made Internet connection to check his e-mails sent to him over last Harvest Day. He saw Harvest Day (Greeting?) Card from Business Expense Bureau under State Science Industry Committee, and opened it, triggering the hacking attack.

I thought that Classified Systems were supposed to be on a separate physical network too? I assume that some guy on the off-shifts decided to surf some porn at work and only could get into the one PC. Maybe, the Chinese decided that they were smarter than us and didn’t need two separate computers like we use.

If you can repeat it. Consider it an employment application. Err, well... as long as you give it to a US entity. Going elsewhere would earn you a cap in the @$$.

Yea, it's dropping. We had a high of 56 yesterday, it's around 25 now, and high teens forecast for this eve.

Typical Indiana weather I guess.

Never underestimate “basic stupid.”

It will work for ya about 30% of the time. Add in a reflex action conditioned by a totalitarian militaristic society and you greatly increase your chance to ring the gong.

“Computers for researchers at the institute are not allowed Internet connection.”

Guess they forgot to tell the computers.
