Washington (CNN) -- Insurgents were able to use a mass-market software program to view live feeds from U.S. military Predator drones monitoring targets in Iraq, a U.S. official indicated to CNN Thursday.
The breach by Iranian-backed Shiite militants was discovered late last year, according to U.S. military and defense officials.
The inexpensive software, created by a Russian company called SkyGrabber, is downloadable off the Internet. It allows users to take advantage of unprotected communication links in some of the UAVs.

Vietnam not far behind with CSIR teams.
From now to 2020, the state budget will pay 765 billion dong for six key projects to build institutions and technical facilities for national information security.
The Ministry of Information and Communications will preside over three projects totaling 500 billion dong to build the National Centre for Network Security Technology, a system to evaluate and verify national information security, train information security experts for government agencies and the national key information systems.
The three other projects will be carried out by the Ministry of Public Security, the Government Secrecy Committee and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, including: building cyber crime warnings, a discovery and prevention system, a verification and security system for the government’s information systems and a system to ensure information security for e-commerce activities of the industry and trade sectors.

Deputy Defense Secretary William J. Lynn III said last month. “No. 1 is the cyber threat. If we don't maintain our capabilities to defend our networks in the face of an attack, the consequences for our military, and indeed for our whole national security, could be dire.”
At the same time, cybersecurity is featured prominently in a broad department self-assessment known as the Quadrennial Defense Review, a congressionally mandated report Pentagon officials released this week. Given the military’s dependence on information networks, the QDR states, it’s not surprising this infrastructure has emerged as a key target.
“Indeed, these networks are infiltrated daily by a myriad of sources,” the report says, “ranging from small groups of individuals to some of the largest countries in the world.”
“The recent intrusion of Google is yet another wake-up call about just how seriously we have to take this program,” Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair told a House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence hearing yesterday.
