\n\nA computer virus has infected the cockpits of America\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Predator and Reaper drones, logging pilots\u00e2\u0080\u0099 every keystroke as they remotely fly missions over Afghanistan and other warzones.
\nThe virus, first detected nearly two weeks ago by the military\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Host-Based Security System, has not prevented pilots at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada from flying their missions overseas. Nor have there been any confirmed incidents of classified information being lost or sent to an outside source. But the virus has resisted multiple efforts to remove it from Creech\u00e2\u0080\u0099s computers, network security specialists say. And the infection underscores the ongoing security risks in what has become the U.S. military\u00e2\u0080\u0099s most important weapons system.
\n\u00e2\u0080\u009cWe keep wiping it off, and it keeps coming back,\u00e2\u0080\u009d says a source familiar with the network infection, one of three that told Danger Room about the virus. \u00e2\u0080\u009cWe think it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s benign. But we just don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t know.\u00e2\u0080\u009d
