Hackers Attack Lockheed Martin

According to the news agency Reuters, some unknown hackers have succeeded in breaking into the Network security systems of Lockheed Martin as well as some other US military contractor companies.

They breached security systems designed to keep out intruders by creating duplicates to “SecurID” electronic keys from EMC Corp’s RSA security division, said the person who was not authorised to publicly discuss the matter. Up to now it is unclear whether the hackers could reach to valuable information. But the networks of Lockheed and other military contractors contain sensitive data on future weapons systems as well as military technology currently used in battles in Iraq and Afghanistan.
