[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;32675617]so pull them down and reimage them?[/QUOTE] The main issue wont be the virus on the drones, as soon as you pull one down and reimage it, then send it back out into service it's already connected backup to the network and got the virus again. The issue is their drone network is infected and the bugger is spreading to wherever it can, the only way to get rid of it is to pull down all the drones, reimage them, then not connect them back up to the network and start tacking that by either flattening it or trying to erase the pest. Can you imagine how much take that could take and the risks behind it?
this is why you should always practice safe sex
[QUOTE=aznz888;32674146]SKYNET[/QUOTE] Oh. My. A-God.
How would a keylogger matter at all Unless they happen to type out in specific details all their secret plans to their drones for some random reason
[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;32675805]How would a keylogger matter at all Unless they happen to type out in specific details all their secret plans to their drones for some random reason[/QUOTE] Its [I]possible[/I] that the pilots / the other person types some sort of report / log while they are working (what they see etc?). They also might type stuff in to control the autopilot etc.
I wonder what Dave Mustaine will have to say about this :v:

Yet, they apparently let secure and unsecure hard drives mingle with each other.

I thought the whole point of separating everything was to prevent things like this.
Where I was, that [I]is[/I] how it is. They did not fuck around.
they've proved you can track a hacker to his little nerd cave and bag him, lets get busy.
Chinaaaaa

Taking down lulzsec for example only took so long because you need solid evidence even though their dox were released on the internet alot earlier by some other guys, containing their usernames, names, emails and adressses. Edit: and knowing that the CIA doesn't give a shit for due process or civil rights, the hacker, if he is a private person, will be in deep shit way faster.
Keylogger, eh? So all it does is keep tabs on the drones then? Eh, it's not so bad, could be much worse; could be a virtual hijack.
Oh man, imagine the whole fleet turning on the US.
Are they still using Vista??? Rise of the Windows Vista - Vista is back to get revenge on the Earthlings.
[QUOTE=Sickle;32679171]Oh man, imagine the whole fleet turning on the US.[/QUOTE] We don't have that many drones.
I'd like to think it's like a page full of the pilot moving the joystick and pressing various buttons like if someone was watching a debug menu.
That's what happens when you make flying machines of death. We're a country full of fucking idiots.
Capture keystrokes? What, do they use WASD to fly the drones?
They probably use kind of joysticks. It's like playing a videogame except that you really kill people. Manhack arcade is reality :v:
[QUOTE=AlphaX10;32680131]We don't have that many drones.[/QUOTE] 360 Predators were built, 57 Reapers, along with many many other UAVs.
Wikileaks, calling it now. The proper response here would to be SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and do a clean reimage of everything.
The zombies are coming.

One such demonstration of it had him using a 360 controller, while another had them using a keyboard and joystick. From what I understand, as long as it has a standard input it does not matter what the controller is.
[QUOTE=DeanWinchester;32674310]So the drones run on Windows? :v: With all the money they spend on military you'd think they'd have their own "secret" OS that is pretty much virus proof.[/QUOTE] It would have been hilarious if they ran on OSX.
