The Chinese military shut down the Pentagon’s computer network for more than a week during an unprecedented cyber attack, according to leaked reports of an internal investigation.

China has flatly denied the report, dismissing the claim as a product of "Cold War" thinking.

However, American officials claim the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) have been implicated.

One US official told the Financial Times that an internal investigation had revealed the exact provenance of the attack in June this year, believed to be the most successful cyber attack ever carried out on the Pentagon.

But I'd imagine it's far less interesting.
