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, according to American officials.

The breaches occurred in January and February, the officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. The hackers targeted a contractor who works for the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, a military organization headquartered in Newport, R.I., that conducts research and development for submarines and underwater weaponry.

The officials did not identify the contractor.

Someone should tell Trump who the long term threat to the US is. And it ain't, Canada or the EU
 
Well, frankly, I don't buy anything from the Washington Post as credible, especially unnamed sources.. If true, that is an act of war, if it can be proven, and at the least this contractor should be banned from ever doing business with the US Gov't in the future.

Someone should tell him that. But will he listen if they do? No.

This is a concerning thing that China did to us.

Watch how China rises over the next 10-15 years, economically and militarily.
They are now off loading heavy industry such as steel plants, kit and caboodle to Africa.
