Lockheed Martin Cyber Attack Will Push Neocon Peter King Closer to Cyber Security Act and Internet Kill Switch

No doubt Republican Peter King is already in meetings. He heads the Homeland Security Committee in Congress and pushed for the cyber security act and Internet kill switch. Today's news that a key defense contractor computers were attacked will further the push for more federal control over computer networks.

US defence firm Lockheed Martin says it has come under a significant cyber-attack, which took place last week.

Few details were available, but Lockheed said its security team had detected the threat quickly and ensured that none of its programmes had been compromised.

The Pentagon said it is working to establish the extent of the breach.

Lockheed makes fighter jets, warships and multi-billion dollar weapons systems sold worldwide.
