Unmanned drones flown out of Creech Air Force Base were recently infected with a computer virus that logged the keystrokes of operators. Wired Magazine reports the viruses were present in some drones as they flew missions over Afghanistan. According to Wired, Creech officials knew about the viruses for two weeks but kept that information secret. So is the U.S. drone fleet in any danger? Wired's Noah Shachtman joins us to discuss if unmanned drones are at significant risk due to computer viruses.
