Math rules the world.

A virus got into the systems that control predator drones.

The article is a year old but it is a good example of how many new things are hacked before security is taken seriously enough.

Great. So how long until a strain of PoisonIvy or similar gets into them?

Remember those times when we all had something better to be doing, but didn't do it? Those were good times. Gooood times

This. Its a risk that comes with using computer controlled drones.

I am glad they are developing strong security, but the security should have been designed with the drone. Not after it was hacked for the first time. Same thing has happened with any new technology from smartphones to tablets. Consoles may be next now that the web browsers are appearing in them.

A virus recently got into the systems that control predator drones.


You twit..this is from over a year ago.

That would be bad, take complete control over all of the drones at once... Or gain access codes, jam or destroy satellite or control station, take control with your satellite and the codes the virus stole.

It would be nice if it was that simple.

What in the hell.... the article is dated October 11, 2011, and the incident was "a couple weeks ago". Not to be blunt, but where the hell have you been?
