Pentagon says drone was not hacked — but it’s a cat

Whether or not the infamous “cyber attack” of the US Department of Defence was indeed carried out by a “foreign actor” is now a matter of interpretation. But as long as things stay this way, the Pentagon will continue trying to portray this as an ordinary and unavoidable attack.
Cybersecurity experts and independent researchers have come to a different conclusion, however, stating that the attack was probably conducted by Chinese hackers.
The attacks were carried out against the US Defence CIO and the head of the National Security Agency on 24 and 25 June respectively. Those affected include American defence officials who need security clearance to access government systems.
One of the affected individuals said the attackers accessed “unclassified systems”, which if true, could not have been the reason for the attack.
The Department of Defence and the NSA, however, do not believe there was any breach of classified material.
The White House cited the attack as an example of why the American military needs better cybersecurity, which follows the December NSA-wide hacks that leaked classified files and affected a number of other US agencies.
The Pentagon said “no classified information was compromised” and no “personnel were harmed as a result of the incident”, adding that “since the incident the Department of Defense has implemented additional security measures to protect against further cyber incidents.”
And an unnamed “senior DOD official” said in a statement that the department “is confident that no classified information was breached, and we remain confident that the data was contained.”
