China hacked into the Pentagon
On September 4th it was noted that the Chinese military was able to hack into the pentagons network. The United States government is now up at arms fearing the threat that they can disrupt the defense department. They believe it was done by China's People's Liberation Army, which was able to shut the computer system for a substantial period of time . US officials are now scared that they are able to breakdown the system at any critical time.It was also Noted that the PLA was responsible for hacking in to the German government as well.

An important topic. Take care not to overstate the evidence. The Pentagon's computer network was not shut down--that would be really big news. what was shut down was an "unclassified email network." There is a big difference. Still, you are correct in writing that this is a very real concern.
