A new study says U.S., British and other nuclear weapon systems are vulnerable to cyber attacks. An international relations think tank in London says the threat of cyber attacks has received little attention from those involved in nuclear military planning, and there's been a failure to keep up with fast-moving advances. The authors of the study note that nuclear weapon systems were developed before the advancement of computer technology and little consideration was given to potential cyber vulnerabilities.
They say nuclear weapon systems are a threat from hostile states, criminal groups and terrorist organizations, and that the likelihood of an attempted cyber attack on nuclear weapon systems is relatively high.
