If you think militants are going to be content to just observe spy drone feeds, it’s time to reconsider. “Folks are not merely going to listen/watch what we do when they intercept the feeds, but also start to conduct ‘battles of persuasion’; that is, hacking with the intent to disrupt or change the content, or even ‘persuade’ the system to do their own bidding,” Peter Singer, author of Wired for War, tells Danger Room.
This has long been the nightmare scenario within Pentagon cybersecurity circles: a hacker not looking to take down the military grid, but to exploit it for his own purposes. How does a soldier trust an order, if he doesn’t know who else is listening — or who gave the order, in the first place? “For a sophisticated adversary, it’s to his advantage to keep your network up and running. He can learn what you know. He can cause confusion, delay your response times — and shape your actions,” one Defense Department cybersecurity official tells Danger Room....

This whole story seems a little strange (the whole drone thing). This makes it seem weirder.

Looks like it didn't take them long to decode and tap into the drone system
What say you all who were nay sayers, or are you going to demand a video, but I bet even then you will claim they just made a mock up with their own rc technology...
Thats besides the point, given the pace they performed this at, I am betting they had help from either an espionage agent, or China stole the technology as they have been since the 80s.

I think it's funny that the American government or the people for that matter don't believe Iran can reverse engineer or already have the technology of decoding the drone. Seems as though we think that just because they are in the middle east they are stuck in the stone age, complete ignorance.
