Chinese hackers have accessed designs for more than two dozen. US weapons systems, a US newspaper has reported. Designs for comba aircraft, ships and missile defences were among thos compromised, a Pentagon paper found, the Washington Post reported. A public version of the same Defense Science Board report said in January that the US was unprepared for a full-scale cyber attack. A Pentagon spokesman said "intrusions" had not eroded its technological edge. The Defense Science Board did not return requests for comment from the BBC. The Washington Post report comes as Australia discloses Chinese hackers stole floor plans for the new headquarters of its domestic intelligence. agency.The compromised US designs include those for advanced Patriot missile systems called PAC-3, an Army anti-missile system known as. Thaad, and the Navy's Aegis ballistic-missile defence system, according to the Washington Post. The F/A-18 fighter jet, V-22 Osprey aircraft, Black Hawk helicopter and the Navy's new Littoral Combat Ship were also compromised.

There should have been contigency plans in place to forestall such cyber-attacks. I think this is the result of an oversight on the Pentagon's part.
