Discussion on:

Virus attacks military drones, exposes vulnerabilities

Doesn't a key logging virus eventually "call home"? If the perpetrators of the virus expect to gain anything from the infection, at some point the virus will try to send information to its source, and that's how you catch the miscreants responsible.

Weapons control systems used to be stand alone systems so they could not be infected with an outside virus.

I heard somewhere that the "infection" may be related to some internal software the DOD uses to monitor their own networks.

You have a great point riverat1. I'll bet their own anti malware software caught it because the left hand was not telling the right hand they were snooping.

After reading about damaged "machinery at Iran???s uranium enrichment facilities" the only possible suspect for your drones security breach would make me have to point the finger at Israel. And who can blame them for your own security lapses and negligence. With ground base tracking intelligence technology or spy satellites intercepting command and control directives to your drones, somebody, somewhere must be feeling like a kid in a candy shop.
