US counter-intelligence officials reveal yet another act of cyber warfare; this time with counterfeit chips and routers that have made their way onto US military aircraft. To quote an intelligence official, "You don’t sneak counterfeit chips into another nation’s aircraft to steal data. When it’s done intentionally, it’s done to degrade systems, or to have the ability to do so at a time of one’s choosing.”

If these electronic equipment have made it onto military aircraft, what about naval vessels?
