The US Government Accountability Office found that theDoD won’t admit that their systems are vulnerable! “Specifically, the report concludes that almost all weapons that the DOD tested between 2012 and 2017 have “mission critical” cyber vulnerabilities.” They believe, just like in all other industries, these systems were built without cybersecurity in mind. The found things like poor password hygiene and lack of encryption just to name a few. While testing, they were even able to take control of some of these weapon systems! Kind of scary!

This is exactly what Hollywood has been writing into fantasy for years. I don’t exactly find this unbelievable but with all the rockiness in our news structure lately, how much of this report can we belive? If it was anyone groups goal to have the general population question our news sources then it is working. Regardless, I am certain everyone and everything could stand for a little more cybersecurity.
Hi Sev,
I agree with Brock as it is like a script out of a Hollywood movie. DoD wont admit to it as it is matter of national security. I think DoD will try to sell them to other countries and get a updated system which have better cyber security protocols on it.
