The new system, if connected to the internet, will be no exception.
The weird thing is, the Air Force (all DoD branches) insist on connecting their systems to the internet, thus the continual Chinese and Russian attempts at penetrating systems they wouldn't have access to 30 - 40 years ago.
There seems to be this universal disconnect when it comes to anything digital, whereas it’s assumed to just be more secure, when in fact the opposite is quite true.
I had a VA appointment the other day and brought up the VA’s secure message system, whereby the VA communicates with veterans via the internet. I told her there was nothing secure about a government messaging system that goes directly to a home computer.
I would have gotten a better response if I had told her I was raped by a gang of Big Foot then abducted by a UFO.
