Admiral Tom Wilson, head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, says the 74-year-old communist dictator may be preparing a cyberattack against the United States.
Wilson told the Senate Intelligence Committee during a public hearing Wednesday that Castro's armed forces could initiate an "information warfare or computer network attack" that could "disrupt our military."
The panel later went into closed session to discuss classified material.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) asked in response: "And you would say that there is a real threat that they might go that route?"
Replied Wilson: "There's certainly the potential for them to employ those kind of tactics against our modern and superior military."
Yeah. Our modern and superior military that is going to use windows 2000 to do Command and Control on our aircraft carriers. That one.
