Wow! That’s some important s—!
New Empire’s Dog Feces material, lads, Wired and Reuters on the excrement stick about a computer virus (a keystroke logger) on the Creech AFB network used to control Predator drone missions.
No links.
Full of anonymous sources, obvious US mil tech geeks getting erections over spilling the beans, readers are informed no one is panicking yet.
As a matter of context, DD remembers computer viruses being found on US military systems used in the Yugoslavia/Serbia, a computer virus on a space shuttle computer, and numerous viruses — one infamous piece of malware infiltrated on a thumb drive — on networked computers used in Afghanistan.
It’s safe to say malware as well as spyware has probably been found wherever we have networked computers involved in killing various paupers around the world.
“Holy s—, man!” I hear someone mutter. “It’s Predator drones!”
Yeah, so? All things considered, what took so long?
