      Round up all of the male autistic teenagers in the country & this should solve the problem.
      What happens in General, stays in General.

        Interesting they dont say who hacked them. Suppose it is the Chinese? Or worse, our deadly enemies the French.

        If its kids then they deserve a medal.

        Thought - are they making up this story to try to get extra funding? Sorry if that is very cynical.

          This would mean taking my kids away away from me when they become teens?

          Excellent idea! I can have a nice rest....

            I think it's a cover so we can extradite Abu Nebuchadnezzar to the US.

              It's easy mate. IP address 94.236.30.92 is the army recruitment website. IP Address 94.236.30.93 gives you access to Rapier Missile locations and control data.

              Put it on the "net" and people will play with it.

                Technical specifications
                The fleet of military X-band satellites have been specifically designed to support smaller, low powered, tactical terminals. Each Skynet 5 satellite is equipped with:
                • High power 160W TWTAs on all transponders, giving 56 dBW peak EIRP in each transmit spot beam and 41 dBW peak EIRP in each global beam per transponder.
                • 15 active transponders ranging in bandwidth from 20MHz to 40 MHz
                • Up to 9 UHF channels
                • Multiple fully steerable downlink spot beams
                • On Board Active Receive Antenna (OBARA) capable of generating multiple shaped uplink beams
                • Flexible switching capability allowing connectivity between any uplink beam and at least two downlink beams
                • Nuclear hardening, anti-jamming countermeasures and laser protection
