Either A) you are making this up, or B) reporting hearsay/rumor as fact.

My position is that there is no reputable report stating that missile 
in-flight updates were hacked. There is no research for me to do.

I can't prove a negative, you simply need to provide one reputable 
counterexample.

I'll wait...

A *reliable* article on Wikipedia will include reference links to 
establish its credibility. Those references can be independently checked 
and verified. I've seen no reliable links from you for *any* claim 
you've made so far.

You appear to be severely lacking in skepticism about *your own* claims, 
since you follow-up a contested, unsupported claim with more unsupported 
claims.

When I present a factual claim, I either include the reference or have 
it ready if questioned.  When I espouse an opinion I note it as an 
opinion, and stand ready to debate it.

My *opinion* is that "anon" is a poser.

Your postings, from which a "picture" of your knowledge, experience, and 
abilities emerges, shows no evidence of this. And based on that 
"picture", this claim is in fact contraindicated.

 > Because you need know who you are talking to.

That's true..."anon".
