Sensible Daten der US-Bomber F-22, F-35 und B-2 an China, Russland und den Iran weitergegeben

> These breaches **occurred as RTX employees traveled to China,** Russia, Iran, and other nations, raising concerns about the protection of classified information.

How about disallowing staff of stealth jet manufacturers from traveling to territory of known adversaries.

People love to freak out over this shit but the truth is that if it was too secret to leak, the jets wouldn’t be usable in the first place.

You could probably send every tech document of a F-35 to russia/china and they wouldn’t be able to recreate one until like 2050.

Would be wild if this was just an op, make a big deal about leaking false data, run it in the media, dress it up like a major slip and in the meantime your adversaries are operating with bad assumptions.

Insert “curb your enthusiasm” themese music.

US arms manufacturers taught the Germans dive bombing, soooooooo…. nothing to see here.

Don’t worry the ex pres had a few boxes of sensitive stuff just laying around as reading material while taking a dump.

A good portion of the population didn’t care then. I’m not sure they will understand or care now…

JFC, always with the damn leaks.

Competent contractors don’t allow employees to travel international with work laptops

What exactly is the reason to carry around sensitive information on business trips? Should I be carrying around every secret I have with me at all times? On a similar note, why inform EVERYONE about it when you find out? wtf guys, did we learn nothing from BOTH Death Star goofs??

Oh shit.. Everyone was waiting on reddit a data leakage from Turkish bought S-400. Turkey must never get its paid birds. We must kick USA from NATO, too because of this data leakage.. wait.. what..??!!

Those americans should be confiscated and put in a room for an undetermined amount of time.

Fined the company $200 million then immediately reduced the fine by $100 million if the company spends the $100 on upgrades to their own security.

WTF?

I’d be surprised if Russia could afford to build even one using this information by the time we upgrade to newer tech.

They can’t build one anyway. Russia would build a prototype but couldn’t build a working combat ready aircraft, china would build a wing of them but none of them would be stealth, and Iran would…….I guess build a cardboard mockup?

RTX officer should’ve have their ass hung up in Treason for that

It feels like no information is safe anymore. Why aren’t there more hackers that actually stop hackers? I know dumb question, but that’s why I don’t make the big money.

I see this going a few ways.

One, the leak was legit, and China has some level of data on this stuff. I’m not too worried because they are a nation that largely copies through ignorance, and this often leads to repetitious failures, sometimes catastrophic.

Two, the leak was a ploy in that the information “looks” legit, but it’s a ruse to waste time and spend a decade of development towards false ends, significantly slowing down progress on any military programs.

Three, the leak was legit, and they have enough to accurately replicate designs with success. Shucks, but the tech is now old, we know all the weaknesses, and we’re already past this generation of stuff. By the time anything goes live, it’s already outdated and countered.

None of these are specifically great for China. All kind of waste time and money. There IS some learning, but if the battlefield is changing, you might invest in entirely the wrong things. Also, you’re coming into a tech area where you are extremely inexperienced. We might think of the F-22 as new and shiny still, but it’s already a quarter century old. The nation developing the tech has decades of practice and tactical planning. For as effective the equipment may be, it’s already tactically ineffective against the ones who developed it.

This still is not a good thing, but it’s less bad than getting hold of anything truly in development.

And again, what got leaked could have been a known event with poisoned data. That’s the risk China faces towards this, and they would need the skill set required to know better. This is where they often lack, or at least shortcut.

China also has another big problem: tech. They are a massive volume manufacturer of common items, but they are a terrible tech manufacturer. They often rely on external companies and nations to design, build, and supply high tech products. Now we’re talking about trying to clone an advanced aircraft. With what? What are you actually going to put in it? Even if you clone it, if it’s not functionally competitive with the true counterpart, the plane is basically useless.

This is why nations should always invest in education, attracting and maintaining high skill people, and nurturing this environment. These are the people that are going to truly innovate and come up with brilliant stuff. You’re just not going to have an attractive academic space under an oppressive regime. They…often don’t go well together.

What did Trump do now.

A fine??!! The orange skid mark must be making bank!

The casual way that treason is regarded is mind-boggling. In my day, the US government terminated spies. Unfortunately, people will die because of this and other breaches.
