Just saw a short blurb on Fox News Channel, not much info reported yet, but seems like a big, BIG security deal. Apparently still a developing story. Perhaps someone who can link websites better than I can would send an update when more info is available?

I have heard it said that China has launched MANY, MANY hacks on our government, among a host of other sites.

i think the news said something about those increasing attacks (from China) earlier today....

but there was no confirmation of success at that time.

Don't know -- Shep Smith was just really "exercised" about it when he announced "BREAKING NEWS!!" Of course, he gets "exercised" about a lot of things. Is it just me, or do they put waaay too much eyeliner on him for TV? His eyes are just really striking, and it seems like they are over-outlined all the time.

What....the Chinese are tapping into the highest of our military intelligence and strategic planning compound:doh

I'm not too surprised these days that, yet again, we've been out flanked.

Maybe excess use of eye kohl is the new Sodom and Gomorrah look for media personalities these days. You know...a fashion statement to reflect these new and exciting times:fear

The Pentagon has suffered from a cyber attack so alarming that it has taken the unprecedented step of banning the use of external hardware devices, such as flash drives and DVD's, FOX News has learned.

This has me alarmed also could this be a precursor to an actual attack? Just thinking!
