An unknown hacker (hackers?) recently succeeded in hacking into Lockheed Martin's secure network, as well as the networks of other unnamed contractors. Lockheed Martin is the largest contractor for the United States' military. This is where the secret "Skunk Works" programs are developed.
Nobody is saying what the hacker did once he gained access, but there are two possibilities that come to my mind. First, it could have been the work of another government or contractor trying to spy on or sabotage Lockheed/military by stealing plans or planting a virus. OR it could be another "information vigilante" like Garry McKinnon or Bradley Manning trying to expose the governments secrets.
What do you think?
