"Mitsubishi Heavy Industries factories that build guided missiles and rocket engines; submarines; and nuclear-power equipment have had their computer networks hacked, according to a report.
The Reuters news agency said Japanese newspaper Yomiuri reported that information from Mitsubishi's computer system was stolen in the attack. A representative of the company confirmed the attack, Reuters reported, but said the company was still looking into whether any data had been taken.
The Yomiuri report said about 80 infected computers were found at Mitsubishi headquarters in Tokyo and various facilities in other areas of Japan, according to Reuters."
Heard a pretty scary NPR program on hacking and other sabotage of vital computer systems in control and in weapons not long ago. We can give up all our rights and strip down to our birthday suits at airports, but America is not safe when the military depends so heavily on corporations.

Wars are for, and between corporations. No rules, no hold barred. People are just collateral damage or cogs in the machines.
