The US military is drawing up a list of overseas organizations – primarily in Russia and China, funnily enough – that the Pentagon and its contractors shouldn't buy software from, citing security concerns.
In a briefing with journalists on Friday, Ellen Lord, US defense undersecretary for acquisition and sustainment, said officials have spent the past six months crafting the so-called "do not buy" list. The aim is to stop code with Russian and Chinese origins or connections from being purchased and/or used by America's armed forces and its contractors in case the stuff can be remotely hijacked and spied on.
