Not at all nervous. The Pentagon is a giant honeypot filled with antiquated equipment and data. The real secret stuff is done elsewhere on "The Hidden Internet."

Its funny how all you guys are acting like if China wants some, come get some, but if there were a war, you probably wouldn't even be fighting in it. :P

FYI, I'm from Canada.

Of course not. Nuclear missiles don't need pilots.

Who's "all you guys"? I see one post that says "bring it on". The rest of us just said that the hacking doesn't make us nervous.

Yeah I'm not sure where he came up with that one.

I meant the ones who were saying bring it on... I guess I should have phrased that better, or at least used the quote function.

EDIT: Also, with the Pentagon being such an important US building, wouldn't their computer systems be under pretty much constant attack? What makes this one so special?

That was my first thought when I read this as well. I'm personally not worried.

Prob thats where they want start before launching the big attack, Hack and Shut down critical Security Systems.

So regardless ya'll should still be nervous

before they get in war they need to call japon...they'll connect them to some pople from hiroshima and nagasaki with 3 hand and 20 fingers lol...we all know the US is not afraid to droping a couple of atomic bombs lol...

now hacking the pentogon or any goverment network is not like they do it in the movies, i dont think any security administrator will let any one know how to hack his network specially by putting it on a movie...unless his chinese

"According to most estimates, the bombing of Hiroshima killed approximately 70,000 people due to immediate effects of the blast. Estimates of total deaths by the end of 1945 range from 90,000 to 140,000, due to aftereffects such as burns and radiation. "
