they prob didn't masked their IP Address. they prob rerouted their IP through hundreds of servers to which it was traced to China.

Matthew I need to talk to you concerning next weeks trip.

I wonder if they really hacked the web server or if it was a DNS "hack."

Did they redirect to another site, or another page on the same server?

Seriously, why should you care?

Yeah Kid, that's what the article said. They rerouted their ip address and it was traced to China. And I care because if someone is able to steal sensitive information, it could lead to problems here at home. Example: The locations of every missile silo in the U.S and their codes to arm the missiles are stolen. That information is then sold to a terrorist organization. Now they know where and how to exploit that information. However unlikely, that could spell trouble.

Maybe it's because I stopped paying attention to the media for some months but Jesus Christ that's pretty fucking far fetched.

Yea, they store all that on the web server in the "/silosecrets" directory.
