Foreign hackers breach U.S. nuclear weapons plant

Foreign hackers breached a U.S. nuclear weapons plant in Kansas City by exploiting a Microsoft SharePoint flaw in August. The breach gave hackers, presumably from Russia or China, some level of access to the plant’s computer networks. The Trumpet has warned that the U.S. superpower is vulnerable because of its heavy reliance on computer and electronic technologies. “We could lose the next war before we even begin, if somebody breaks our military codes,” warned Mr. Flurry in his 1999 article “America’s Achilles’ Heel.”
