Can Russia hack our Best Computer Based Weapons?

[RobertEarl]

I wonder.

1. Depends, drones could probably be hacked

because they are on a wireless/remote controlled network. A secure network, no doubt, but there will always be a remote possibility. A self-contained system with no external links like a fighter jet? I doubt it.

3. I don;t know but I bet they'd like to be able to do just that

It is the holy grail of the game played between Russian and American intelligence agencies.

4. Arent' we having more hacking attempts from China?

They tried to use a DoD system to get into the NSA awhile aback.

5. We hear of more attempts from China...that might not mean there ARE more from there

Nothing that reaches the public about clandestine activity of nations can be trusted.

2. The real threat to US democracy isn't from Russia....

it is within the United States. The US is fast becoming what Soviet Russia once was. A paranoid warmongering surveillance state with a corrupt oligarchical system.

6. Of course we're hacking them

7. We don't own the world's technology, anymore.

Everyone is Hacking Everyone these days. We train the best and brightest from other countries here in the USA but other countries have their own best and brightest who who've grown up with tech and it's not a closed field of learning when everyone who has a computer can develop skills to have access to hacking at a sophisticated level.

We've worked for decades with Russia on sophisticated Space Exploring technology. Our computers are made in China and India has access to most of our US Computer user info because they are the off-shored "help sites" for Cisco and other tech companies we customers have to deal with for hours on the phone when something breaks. Plus, both China and India have many tech workers here in the USA in our top companies. Many go back home and share and teach at their universities.

Although, as Snowden revealed: USA/NSA have more access than other countries to "scoop up" everything on everyone because of the pipelines we control and the buildings we can build to store it all on our taxpayers dollars.
