It was never a good day at the base when a virus showed up on the TS networks.

Demonstrate that anything not airgapped off from the internet can be affected...
Or hell, in this day and age even air gap may not be enough... Edit: Memo to self. Read first, comment later... |

Yeah, infected thumb drives, pretty much the same way that StuxNet virus got to the Iranian nuclear plants.
On the plus side, since the drone system was airgapped, even if the virus had keylogging and reporting capabilities, it could not actually transmit collected data. -k |

Until somebody writes it into the virus to use the drone's transmissions to relay the paydata out of the controlling system. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

that makes it harder, but not impossible. True, but if it occurred that means it likely wasn't an 'accidental' infection, and someone brought it in deliberately with the intent of gathering data and bringing it back out by other means. In other words, treason and espionage. -k |

It was at some point. There was a case where a special forces team found a laptop with hours of video footage from the UAVs.

*Headdesk* Sometimes I'm amazed that we, as a species, even were able to find the ripe fruit.

And funny stories. And any other stories the vets and serving members wish to tell. I don't push.

That has actually nothing to do with stupidity, it is arrogance.
Those guys surely knowed about encryption, they just did not to use it. Becaue nobody would be that smart to capture the video stream, besides them. It was the same thing as the problem with wikileaks. Lets store all our data and give everybody access. Surely nobody will ever think of leaking, because we are that awesome. |

True, but if it occurred that means it likely wasn't an 'accidental' infection, and someone brought it in deliberately with the intent of gathering data and bringing it back out by other means. Which in 99% of the alleged "cyberwar" cases did not happen. It's just an ordinary computer system infected by an ordinary piece of malware. |

And now the claim is that it may be a internal monitoring system of some kind...
