American intel is so vulnerable that anybody can access it with a cheap satellite and and an even cheaper software downloaded off the net.
The vulnerability isn’t new – for almost a year, terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq have been accessing classified surveillance videos off drones and satellites and undermining NATO and American operations in those countries.
How difficult is it to encrypt any transmitted data? Apparently, it is for the Pentagon as it is still:
working to encrypt all of its drone video feeds from Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, but said it wasn’t yet clear if the problem had been completely resolved.
This kind of incompetence doesn’t win wars.
