Hackers could gain access to the U.S. military's most complex weapons systems. That's a warning straight from the National Security Agency (NSA).
As the military begins to confront high-tech adversaries like China and Russia, weapons that run on computers are at risk of being compromised, the agency says. It's hard to get around that reality at present; In a world where the Pentagon wants advanced weapons that can wirelessly transfer data to one another, nearly all of them rely on computers, networks, and data links that hackers could exploit.
Most Americans know the NSA as the country's leading intelligence agency, responsible for collecting foreign intelligence via computer, cell phone, and other electronic means. But the NSA is also responsible for cybersecurity and playing defense against other countries that seek to penetrate American computers and computer networks.
Now, as the U.S. pivots away from two decades of warfare against guerrillas and terrorists, the NSA is warning that America's weapons are vulnerable to attack. Technologically savvy adversaries could compromise weapons with computers—known to the NSA as National Security Systems—impairing the ability of U.S. forces to fight.

Plus, everything else you need to know about NASA's longest mission ever. Dirty rugs are an eyesore, which is why many people invest in an at-home carpet cleaner. These gadgets wash rugs quickly and easily, removing stains, odors, and dirt. As the Test Editor of Consumer Tech, I've tested gadgets from robotic assistants to smart locks.
