This is news to me.
Moreover, I'm a bit confused as to how they don't track how it's coming
back.
I mean, how is it possible that no one stepped in and analyzed how the virus
acts and where it came from?
It sounds fish if you ask me.
Chris.
Locating the storage device infecting the systems, and tracking every military personnel and contractor who has had contact with the drones will take some time.
That was the problem with WikiLeaks and Stuxnet, but now new rules are being introduced by the White House to speed up this process.
