Default Chinese hacking of Navy contractor

This is very concerning. Even more so that some dumb asses have tried to pass it off as "unclassified" data. Really?

China has stolen sensitive data related to naval warfare from the computers of a Navy contractor, American officials said on Friday, in another step in the long-running cyberwar between two global adversaries.

The breach occurred this year, the officials said, when Chinese government hackers infiltrated the computers of a company working on a Navy submarine and underwater programs contract. The company, which was not identified, was doing work for the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, which is based in Newport, R.I.

Officials said that the data gleaned by China was unclassified.

The WP article on the frontpage here was at least somewhat more truthful.
