teej, I assure you, I am under no illusion that they can "slap Norton on these things and call it a day". I am at least somewhat conversant with the realities of designing complex military systems. But if the systems really are so highly specialized, and I assume they are, that's still no excuse. At all. If they can't keep malware off them, they have no business flying them, at least for the time being. Which is all I was saying. I know it's not easy.
- josefresco 15y agoThe systems are less specialized than we all would hope. Even with our massive budget the military is still 'forced' to use existing tech, which opens them up to situations like this. And if you think this little press release means anything to actual national security, you have much to learn about our secret war against terrorism.
