[citation][nom]house70[/nom]Dude, think for a second; what coould any "terrorist" organization do with that type of info? Build a fighter jet out of sand and rocks? Gimme a break. The most they could do was sell this info to the highest bidder, but that in itself will not cause any major change in it's M.O. they could prolly buy another month worth of ammo.This incident also proves that there are no hackers involved; having the key to a door is not hacking, merely breaking an entering, and the blame goes entirely to the employee(s) that "lost" (read: sold) the said key.Using some logic before jumping into catastrophic conclusions would have saved countless lives; too bad that while the population increases, the overall amount of common sense remains the same.[/citation]
You should really read up on how inteligence is used. Here is a scanario that works.
If they got hold of the right information and found weaknessess in our defence networks, in our jet desings, or in any of the sensers that they make it can be explited. They can sell these secrets off to rogue states whe will in turn build up to take advantage of the weakness. americans die.
heres another one
they broke in, kept the plans, exploited the weakness themselves... and americans die.
heres another idea...
It was done by a foraing government, if they got the information they would then use it to exploit the infromation, and then americans will die.
I dont know about you, but I care about the lives of people who use this equipment. I do however know that alot of auto CAD is used in making aircraft, and electronics. THis information is not deleted when they finish making the product. Look on the military channel, and count up every single aircraft made by them, then try and figure out what sensers are also made by them. then tell me that we will be perfictly safe.
as for the second point that makes no sense eather, so basicaly your saying if someone beat the hell out of a guy who tried to rape the attempt never happened?
Just because no information was compramised dosent mean an effert was made, climb out of your whole and look at the real world. Truth is the military is consantly working on there security, just like some other companies should, the fact is Lockhead has also done this, and have worked on several black projects that required alot of security, The fact is Lockhead will always be targeted, and can tell when its out of the ordinary because they do have a security team worth there salt, And the final fact is you dont have a clew what kind of damage would of happened if they succeded, and have no idea how the internet works, or what your talking about.
No one brakes into a company on a large scale just to look around (and it has to be large, because all the small attacks are just dealt with and swept aside not shot on the news) the where looking for anything that would weaken our ability to defend ourselves.
but hay according to you such damage should only account to breaking an entering.
