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?

Foreign cyber intrusions into US systems has been going on for a while but the big reveals in 2008 were that these intrusions increased, that Chinese and Russian sources attempted to map the US electrical grid, and these intruders left malicious software that when activated could disrupt electrical systems. When could these programs be activated? Well, according to intelligence officials...during a war.
