MAJOR CYBER-ATTACK ON PENTAGON


God man its the hackers again they have breached into another sensitive system again. Do you guys want to know which system they hacked its the PENTAGON defense system. Actually we don't know clearly whether it was the hackers this time the US government officials say it is an intelligence agency of another nation, which they did not disclose.

It was about 24,000 pentagon which were hacked and stole. It is said that it may have many very important and sensitive information like files including plans for missile-tracking systems, satellite navigation, surveillance drones and even jet fighters have been stolen from systems. "A great deal of it concerns our most sensitive systems, including aircraft avionics, surveillance technologies, satellite communications systems and network security protocols. These type of files are very important for a nation



US officials say that they were breached into through an defense contract company system which was done by intelligence agency of an nation the names of both the company and the nation were not disclosed and so after this huge attack they have taken few steps like aims to keep up their security and it is 19 pages document. I will give you guys a short form of it. It mainly consist of 5 points and they are

1. Recruit, educate and train "the nation's ingenuity" to help improve cybersecurity.

2. Partner with other U.S. government departments to enable a "whole-of-government" cybersecurity strategy.

3. Employ new defense operating concepts to protect DoD networks and systems.

4. Treat cyberspace as an "operational domain" with specially organized, trained, and equipped forces.

5. Build relationships with U.S. allies and international partners.

This has been one of the biggest single cyber-attack on the PENTAGON and this could cause a great destruction for US if the information goes in the hands of an terrorist organization. But it may be a cyber attack on US by other nation. so lets hope its not a terrorist attack and hope not a cyber war too and guys lets all live in peace
