Chinese hackers managed to steal data related to the Iron Dome system from computers of Israeli defense technology companies, and that data related to "Arrow 3" missiles, automatic air vehicles, ballistic missiles, and other technical documents in the same areas of study.
A report - published by the American "National Interest" website - asked what would China do with the data it got about the Israeli missile defense system known as the Iron Dome?
Brian Krebs, a writer on cybersecurity, was quoted as saying that Cyber Engineering Services, Maryland, monitored this cyber-burglary.
He noted that the robbery occurred between October 10, 2011 and August 13, 2012, and he said that the computers of three of the largest defense technology companies in Israel had been hacked.
The perpetrators are believed to be from the "Comments Group", a group of pirates funded by the Chinese army. In addition, Mandiant Cyber Security Company of Virginia has found that this group operates under the leadership of the second office of the General Staff Department of the People's Liberation Army, the third department, known as a unit "61398".
The report stated that this unit is waging a fierce campaign to steal American secrets until the Ministry of Justice convicted four alleged members last May.
