    WASHINGTON (AFP) – Lockheed Martin, the world's top defense contractor, was on Sunday investigating the source of a major cyber-attack one week ago against its information network, the company said.

    "Lockheed Martin detected a significant and tenacious attack on its information systems network," the company said in a statement late Saturday night.

    The company said the cyber-assault took place on May 21, and that quick action by its security team successfully repelled the attack.

    "No customer, program or employee personal data has been compromised," the company statement said, adding that federal authorities had been notified.

    "Throughout the ongoing investigation, Lockheed Martin has continued to keep the appropriate US government agencies informed of our actions," the company said.

    "The team continues to work around the clock to restore employee access to the network, while maintaining the highest level of security," the statement said.



    >>> Lockheed Martin did not mention the suspected source of the cyber-attack.

    Most likely China, they have been behind several similar cyber-attacks in the past.
    sound like an al queda operation..they warned against cyber attacks nothing specific, but this would fit the bill

    Or a plot to make it look like Al-Qaeda. I personally don't think they have the technology or intelligence to pull it off, at least not without help form an outside agency.....
