A hacker has allegedly stolen a massive trove of sensitive data – including highly classified defense documents and missile schematics – from a state-run Chinese supercomputer in what could potentially constitute the largest known heist of data from China.

The dataset, which allegedly contains more than 10 petabytes of sensitive information, is believed by experts to have been obtained from the National Supercomputing Center (NSCC) in Tianjin – a centralized hub that provides infrastructure services for more than 6,000 clients across China, including advanced science and defense agencies.

      Don’t forget that if you get caught spending that money by the US, or whatever government rules over you, then you will spend the rest of your life eating prison cafeteria food and sleeping on a cot. You won’t get a pass because you aren’t working for the government, and they don’t want people who don’t respect authority being free inside their borders.
