Computer Spies Breach Fighter-Jet Project

By SIOBHAN GORMAN, AUGUST COLE and YOCHI DREAZEN

WASHINGTON -- Computer spies have broken into the Pentagon's $300
billion Joint Strike Fighter project -- the Defense Department's
costliest weapons program ever -- according to current and former
government officials familiar with the attacks.

The fact that outsiders are attempting to break into defense
contractors computers is hardly new "news". The book "The Cuckoo's
Egg", written by Clifford Stoll in 1990, describes just such kind of
acts, except that they were apparently sponsored by the Russians
rather then by the Chinese.

Apparently the saying "those who refuse to learn from history are
doomed to repeat it" is true.
