China Hacked Navy Contractor, Stole Sensitive Data on Submarine Warfare


According to the Seattle Times (June 8, 2018), Chinese government hackers have compromised the computers of a Navy contractor, stealing massive amounts of highly sensitive data related to undersea warfare - including secret plans to develop a supersonic anti-ship missile for use on U.S. submarines by 2020. The hackers targeted a contractor who works for the Naval Undersea Warfare Center. Taken were 614 gigabytes of material relating to a closely held project known as Sea Dragon, as well as signals and sensor data, submarine radio room information relating to cryptographic systems, and the Navy submarine development unit’s electronic warfare library.
