4 terabytes[!] of info about the F-35 Fighter Jet obtained by hackers.
This brings about the simple question - why is the computer holding this information connected to the internet? I don’t care how many firewalls you have - this stuff should be on a stand-alone computer or network with NO electrical connection to the outside world.
For the same reason that our $300+ billion electric grid is connected - so that people that have no idea what's going on can see things that they don't understand in order to show that they're 'in the know'.
Or somebody on the inside is helping...
Um, not to be snarky, but a simple download, particularly if slow and mixed in with other traffic, most likely would not show up as an anomaly. The key indicator would more likely be the length of the session that initiated it...and the fact that there was an open port that allowed the download in the first place. But what would I know. I'm just a cissp. Anyway, we both agree with the "WTF" nature of this mishap. Somebody at .gov needs a good slap.

I’m very happy for you. No, I don’t accept it as a mishap. Someone must have left the gate open for this.
No, I meant she would be the one doing the profiling. LOL!
I see - that wouldn’t really be racial profiling then, but personality profiling. At least I would think.
