F-35 Program has files hacked

I just read this article in the Wall Street Journal today and from the article's standpoint the cyber spies seemed to have attained a lot of intel.

I know how the media can blow things out of proportion, so do any of yall know anything more about what was actually extracted?

Any thoughts of who would be capable of using the intel? It seems to me
the nation/group that wants to use the intel for developing a defense network against the F-35 would need a large budget.

Here's the link to the WSJ Ariticle.

I wonder of some F-22 yahoos leaked it so they can argue "the JSF IS COMPROMISED AND NOW WE NEED MORE RAPTORS!!!!"

Doubt it, but that was the random thought that just popped in my head.. Much like Ray in Ghostbusters and the StayPuft Marshmallow Man.

Funny, the first thing I thought of was "I wonder how fracking long are they gonna make the annual IA training NOW?"

I'm sure it had something to do with a thumbdrive!

I'll check and make sure my squadron's shared drive has no top secret jet fighter plans.

CNN was saying that "Top Secret" files were hacked. I seriously doubt that. We're probably talking about maintenance pubs or other such mundane engineering documents.
