Specifically, the report concludes that almost all weapons that the DOD tested between 2012 and 2017 have “mission 
critical” cyber vulnerabilities. 
“Using relatively simple tools and techniques, testers were able to take control of systems and largely operate 
undetected, due in part to basic issues such as poor password management and unencrypted communications,” the report 
states. And yet, perhaps more alarmingly, the officials who oversee those systems appeared dismissive of the results.
