Focusing on OPM Hack

Reuters today has a story they link to the OPM attacks.  It involves the arrest of a Chinese citizen who came to the US "for a conference" and was arrested then.  Right now, there is a good deal of speculation and the charges do not directly indicate OPM was an issue.  While few article name the companies the software was targeting, the Reuters article says this:  "Adam Meyers, vice president at U.S. security firm CrowdStrike, said software flaws and one of the internet protocol addresses cited in the complaint matched up with attacks on a U.S. turbine manufacturer, Capstone Turbine, and a French aircraft supplier."
