The Pentagon was in Windows 95

 May 4, 2017  The hidden truth

The Pentagon maintains very outdated versions of Windows in some safety-critical systems, says a report. 

Upgrade phones, computers and other devices it is one of the most basic ways to have safe devices, in part keys because large companies are constantly updating their operating systems, and partly because these companies leave the older versions, making them unsafe to hackers and other malicious users. 

Interestingly, the Pentagon himself deaf to these recommendations and still remains very outdated versions of Windows in some security systems that are critical, as stated in April the web specializing in military defense Defense One . 

According to said one of those responsible for the office of Deputy Defense Secretary Energy, Installations and Environment, about 75% of the computers still work with Windows XP, Windows 98 and even Windows 95, which already has more than 20 years their backs. And, apparently, this does not happen only in the Pentagon, but 15 other military installations Defense Department are in the same situation.

 In a different context, this would be a huge problem, because these operating systems are no longer officially updated and someone with enough knowledge could sneak into one of the most important facilities for the US Government However, it appears that these systems running older versions of Windows that are not connected to the Internet, so the only way to sneak into them would be physically in front of the device and access its closed network, which certainly is not that simple. 

That does not mean there are not risks do exist for communications between computers with outdated operating systems that are connected by network to other government installations, which itself would make them more vulnerable to attacks. The Pentagon is currently updating part of its infrastructure to the latest version of Windows, although it does not seem that computers with critical functions are to catch up with the same speed as office equipment.
