I still hope it is just a hoax.

The officials said that a number of safeguards have since been put into place to protect that system.

Let us hope so

Breaching several Western nation's government networks seem to have become a hobby for some factions in the last 12 months ( and longer ago). It seems the Chinese are getting bored of just doing Kung-Fu.

It could also be kids doing it for lulz as they put it.

Of course storing such stuff on systems connected to the internet is just plain dumb.

Espionage is a serious crime. In the 50's it was a Death penalty crime.

If it was kids in the states, I doubt espionage charges would stick unless they tried to sell it to another country.

If it was done by professional "spys" then they will likely never be caught, and it would have probably been committed from another country.

Considering it were several terabytes having been downloaded, I doubt it waskids fun. They usually lack the money for such expensive hardware, especially in China.
