beginning of conspiracy--
the us hacked the chinese and the chinese found the attack method on

were curious about the hack, so probed the pentagon with the hack, the
hack worked. the us hadn't been patched the pentagon against 0day that
their own intelligence agency were using for hacking missions. --end
of conspiracy.

This is idle speculation, nothing more.

yes, i think folks know conspiracy theory means idle speculation.
however i wanted to post it on full-disclosure incase other folks had
heard the same thing on the grapevine.
i forgot to add it was a blackberry vulnerability that got the
pentagon hacked, i discussed this with you on freenode last night.
there is no actual evidence to back any of this up due to the
classified nature of the pentagon and its public relations policy.
