The Pentagon is responding to a Washington Post article claiming key weapons systems have been compromised by Chinese espionage. Spokesman George Little says, “We maintain full confidence in our weapons platforms.” Little also says, “The Department of Defense takes the threat of cyber espionage and cyber security very seriously, which is why we have taken a number of steps to increase funding to strengthen our capabilities, harden our networks, and work with the defense industrial base to achieve greater visibility into the threats our industrial partners are facing.” He says, “suggestions that cyber intrusions have somehow led to the erosion of our capabilities or technological edge are incorrect.”
