Hacking of Asco Industries servers. They make F-35 parts.

[Twitter as news article in one of the languages of Belgium]

Belgian employees report hacking of Asco Industries servers (apparently not limited just to Belgian facilities). Asco is engaged in production of #F35 components (flaperon spars) and has facilities in #Belgium, #Canada, #USA, #Germany, #France and #Brazil. https://t.co/hp54uJfOpJ

#3 Why is any production of our military equipment made overseas.

Distributing the footprint makes a bigger footprint. Unfortunately it also provides many ill-secured gateway onramps to the supplier network.
