🇺🇸🔓 HACKERS BREAK INTO CIA PROCUREMENT RESEARCH CENTER, EXPOSE "DIGITAL HAMMER" PROGRAM
Hackers breached the CIA Procurement Research Center, exposing technology and confidential data. The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) confirmed the incident while the FBI investigates. The center is the unclassified and classified access point for intelligence contracts.
🔨 The most sensitive compromised program: "Digital Hammer," a contracting vehicle that allows the CIA to gather cutting-edge technologies for human intelligence, surveillance, and counterintelligence. It is specifically focused on countering Chinese intelligence operations.
⚠️ Experts point out that this was not a "crime of opportunity." The sensitivity and exclusivity of the Digital Hammer program almost certainly points to a state actor, likely China. When proprietary innovations intended for CIA-backed programs are stolen, it is a serious violation of national security.
The affected Center manages contracts for multiple agencies: CIA, Space Force (surveillance satellites and space weapons), and the Golden Dome missile defense program. The NRO notified several affected companies that their proprietary information was compromised.
💻 This incident follows a recent Chinese attack on the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Critics say using the unclassified Center for sensitive contracts created security vulnerabilities that hackers exploited.
