Computer hackers have successfully breached the security networks of several U.S. military contractors, according to a report by Reuters. Lockheed Martin, one of the world’s largest defense contractors, was included in the attack. It’s not clear who the hackers were or what data (if any) they were able to steal, but the networks of the targeted firms contain classified information on future weapons systems and military technology at use on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. The Pentagon employs 85,000 people to monitor cybersecurity.
