Computer virus hits US Predator and Reaper drone fleet
Like hugh says, this doesn't add up at all.“We keep wiping it off, and it keeps coming back,” says a source familiar with the network infection, one of three that told Danger Room about the virus. “We think it’s benign. But we just don’t know.”C'mon. You're the military. "It just keeps coming back?" So you decide to do a press release about it? Please.I wouldn't have whined like that when I was de-malwareing neighbourhood PCs at age 13, I would have fixed it. If I can successfully keep malware off the PCs of middle aged parents with teenaged children, then the government capable of developing and operating fleets of unmanned military drones can certainly isolate a network and disable the USB bus.There is definitely some high level shit going on right here. I doubt we'll know about it for many years, if ever.
