Chinese military possibly pulls off most the successful hack yet against U.S. defense

According to American officials, the Chinese military launched in June the most successful attack on the U.S. defense department. Representatives at the Pentagon confirmed that it had to shut down part of its computer system in response to an attack, though declined to comment on who it believed to be behind the attack.

The official also said that the PLA was able to penetratedefence and think-tanknetworks.
