The year is 2020, and Northrop has just completed its total
revamp protecting American infrastructure and military networks, along
with all the government clouds and IT systems from cyber attacks from
foreign hackers, hacktivists, and foreign military cyber warfare
commands. There's been a lot of talk about the recent China Hacker case
which caused an airliner to crash recently. Now the United Nations, the
Council on Foreign Relations, and the latest Geneva Convention treaty
wishes to change the rules.
It seems that Northrop had secretly put misinformation into military computer systems, and created a decoy cloud center. What they had done was put information in the system and detailed technical reports on how to create specialty carbon composite material with graphene coatings for the wings of high-performance supersonic aircraft. The Chinese have had a number of their military jets crash recently, coming apart in the air, but they didn't know why.
Military intelligence, at least at the upper echelon did have good reason to believe that they had taken the bait, downloaded what the Chinese Military Cyber Hackers thought was secret information, and incorporated into their manufacturing process for their new carbon composite fighter which was a larger copy and knock-off of the JSF F 35. Apparently, the state run aircraft airliner manufacturer, a new one which is competing now with Comac used that secret information in designing the aircraft wings for their latest high-tech airliner which showed remarkable efficiency in the flight tests for certification.
Unfortunately, when it was slightly overloaded and hit some very rough air while traveling around a Typhoon the wings ripped off and everyone perished. Another crashed after a hard landing ripping off the wings sending the aircraft into a ditch, and it burned up and everyone died from the toxic fumes from the fire. While they were investigating that crash, not realizing it was related to the other, a third crash happened in one of their largest aircraft which was designed to compete with the Aibus A380 and Boeing 747-8. The Chinese version is actually 22 feet larger in length, and 17 feet wider in wingspan than the A380 - but the Chinese airliner also came apart in midair - no one survived.
When it was discovered that Chinese military hackers had downloaded technical data at the decoy center which was misdirection, and that their manufacturing process was the cause of these crashes, it was determined that decoy centers for cyber warfare are no longer allowed to have misdirection. The Chinese claimed had they been able to steal the correct technology, their airplanes wouldn't have crashed, therefore it's the Americans fault. Of course Northrop defends its strategy, citing that the Chinese shouldn't have stolen that information in the first place, and therefore it's their fault.
The WTO claims that it is not in a position to render a decision on this, mostly due to the tension in the region right now, and therefore they are staying away from this controversy. It will be interesting to see what the United Nations, Geneva Convention, and the folks on the Council for foreign relations have to say about all this.
