The first form involves simple jamming of Colonial [[wireless]] channels during the attack. This forces any Colonial vessel to escape from jamming range or use [[Communication drone]]s to transmit outside of jamming range. | The first form involves simple jamming of Colonial [[wireless]] channels during the attack.

It takes [[Helo]], the [[ECO]] aboard [[Raptor 478]], several precious minutes attempting to eliminate the ghosts from the actual craft as they accompany a squadron of [[Viper Mark VII]] fighters engaging a group of [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Cylon Raiders]] ([[Miniseries]]). | ||
While not truly a use use ECMs, which tries to overcome existing forms of detection and attack in the heat of battle, an electronic and devastating attack is made by Cylon Raiders when they transmitt a [[Cylon computer virus|computer program]] to all Colonial vessels within range.

This virus uses a backdoor installed into the [[Command Navigation Program]] used aboard Colonial ships to disable their integrated systems and leave them vulnerable to attack ([[Miniseries]]). Technically, this is more akin to sabotage since [[Cylon agent]]s were used prior to the attack to change the CNP. | ||
