I'm personally not offended and I get the pun, but is "Chink in the Pentagon's armour" really a suitable headline for Hexus, a site which is usually politically correct?
Guess maybe they should've listened to Gary McKinnon instead of prosecuting him!
Main Entry: chink
Pronunciation: \ˈchiŋk\
Function: noun
Etymology: probably alteration of Middle English chine crack, fissure
Date: 1535
1 : a small cleft, slit, or fissure <a chink in the fence>
2 : a weak spot that may leave one vulnerable <his lawyers found a chink in the law>
3 : a narrow beam of light shining through a chink
Yes, I understood the literal meaning, but in the context of referring to the Chinese, the same term is also a racial slur:

I see, thanks for highlighting that possible interpretation.
Good thing this was referring to the Pentagon's armour then...
Actually, come to think of it, why in the name of God is sensitive data being made available on the internet?
You can't leave all your financial information in a big pile of papers on a table in a shopping centre and start whining if someone happens to rifle through it.
Haha, sly racist banter at it's best love it! As GheeTsar said though, you should think about changing that so as not incur the wrath of Chinese uber haxxors!

You know what the answer is? Don't store sensitive information online!!
Seriously, if you're storing secret information don't put it on the same network your employees use to access the internet.
