The control systems for the US Air Force's Predator and Reaper drones at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada have been infected by a persistent computer virus, one that appears to resist being removed. The virus appears to be a simple keylogger virus -- a program that records the keystrokes of the person using the infected computer -- so it doesn't interfere with the actual flight operations of the pilots, but multiple attempts to remove the infection have proved to be fruitless -- and the origin of the invasive program also remains unknown.
"We keep wiping it off, and it keeps coming back," according to a source familiar with the situation. "We think it's benign. But we just don't know."
