Japan defence firm Mitsubishi Heavy in cyber attack Sic

Japan's top weapons maker has confirmed it was the victim of a cyber attack reportedly targeting data on missiles, submarines and nuclear power plants.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) said viruses were found on more than 80 of its servers and computers last month.

The government said it was not aware of any leak of sensitive information.

But the defence ministry has demanded MHI carry out a full investigation. Officials were angered after learning of the breach from local media reports...

As always follow the link to the original article in full

Think there is a typo in the title I think it should read: "Japan defence firm Mitsubishi in Heavy cyber attack"

I wonder what Chinese Government's reaction would be to having the Great Firewall of China taken down by a distributed attack?

No, it's "Mitsubishi Heavy Industries", that's distinct from "Mitsubishi Motors Company"

Same goes for Daewoo in Korea...they have Daewoo Heavy and Deawoo Motors.

Probably just some cunt in a pagoda dossing their website and plonking in a virus when their server reboots without protection. It isn't just governments who can act like complete retards.
