Nation-state attackers affiliated with the Chinese government have made off with a trove of undersea military secrets, according to a report.
Hackers were able to mount a lateral attack after compromising the networks of a Navy contractor working for the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Rhode Island, according to a Washington Post report, citing American officials.
The result? “Massive amounts of highly sensitive data” flowed into the hands of China, unnamed officials told the paper, including “secret plans to develop a supersonic anti-ship missile for use on U.S. submarines by 2020.”
The incident happened January and February, the sources said, and resulted in 614 gigabytes of data, most of it highly sensitive info related to American offensive and defensive systems, including cryptography systems for secure communication, signals and sensor data, and the Navy’s electronic submarine warfare library, which contains information about adversary radar platforms.

But it did have a psychological effect on the customer. They left happy, feeling their say was acted on. My girlfriend got nice tips out of it. And the manager was happy that he could follow the orders that were passed down to him.
Like you say, it didn't solve anything, but seemed to make everyone feel better. At least got them to hang around long enough to be offered a cold beer. As long as they kept the cat in the bag. During those times, everyone was watching everyone like a hawk over "wasting energy", and I am sure the guy who owned the eatery was probably under energy rationing himself.
If I am ever passing through that town again, I will probably visit the eatery if its still there, and see if my old thermostat is still screwed to the wall. Kinda doubt it. That was right at 40 years ago when I did that.
