Weirdly enough, I'm going with the Brits. If the Chinese owned it, then they'd already be wavign around our nuclear launch codes. If it were the Russkies, the same thing. If it had been the Mossad, then they would've used it to wipe out Iran. Don't know how the Germans would use it, really.

The unusual thing about the incident is not that it happened but that it was discovered, and it is a reminder of the dangers of having computers with sensitive data connected to the open Internet.
