BreachBytes

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the $300 billion Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) project has been breached. Lockheed Martin,  Northrup Grumman and BAE Systems are all involved in the project although it is unclear what network or networks were breached. There are likely numerous nation-state entities that would love to get their hands on this type of national security information. The question in my mind is if those responsible are working directly for a nation-state entity or if they are hoping to sell the information off to the highest bidder. Either way it is scary stuff.
