American nuclear arsenals are still using 8-inch "relic"-floppy disk-IT news What is it? American nuclear arsenals are still using 8-inch "relic"

Recently, the United States CBS aired a 60-minute introduction to United States nuclear arsenal facility video, surprised many people was that these storage places with the world's most dangerous weapons, its internal equipment was rather primitive and backward, time here seems to be stopped.

Foreign media said that in these facilities, we see that heavy equipment and the old-fashioned mechanical switches, even the chandelier is also the most simple kind. And the most amazing is the 8-inch floppy disks to store data.

In this regard, some analysts believe that although the software itself is very fragile, but the magnetic storage technology is very reliable, and nuclear weapon facilities in a limited amount of data needs to be updated, floppy disks are sufficient. And now in the rapid development of science and technology, which has been eliminated from the other hand becomes a unique, which means that any attacks against a modern information system and devices are ineffective, and can better ensure security.

Having said that, in fact, in the United States President's "doomsday machine" also has a similar expression. In January this year of the end of the paragraph on the plane appear in the video, it can even withstand a nuclear bomb attack and advanced aerial command post was still using outdated communications equipment, and in no time, the "old man" so hackers can not start.

是啥呢？美核武库仍在用的8英寸“老古董”

近日，美国CBS播出了一段长达60分钟介绍美国核武库设施的视频，令不少人感到意外的是，这些存放着世界最危险武器的地方，其内部的设备却相当简陋和落后，时间在这里仿佛是停止的。

外媒表示，在这些设施中我们看到的只有那些笨重的设备和最老式的机械开关，甚至是吊灯也是最最简单的那种。而最不可思议的便是这里让在使用8英寸软盘来存储数据。

对此，有分析认为尽管软件本身非常脆弱，但就磁存储技术来说却十分可靠，而且核武设施中需要更新的数据量有限，因此软盘也已经够用。而且在科技飞速发展的现在，这些已经被淘汰的技术从另一方面讲反而变得独一无二，这意味着任何针对现代信息系统的攻击和设备都对其无效，更能保证安全。

说到这一点，其实在美国总统的“末日专机”上也有类似体现。今年1月份一段关于末日专机的视频中也显示，这架甚至能够抵御核弹攻击的先进空中指挥所竟然还在用老旧通信设备，而在非常时期，这些“老家伙”将让黑客们无从下手。
