Quote " China’s long and storied history of technological espionage should give even the most skeptical US users some pause."
"In response to the Army’s memorandum, DJI has
announced they will soon implement an offline mode, and repeatedly asserted that their data is secure. DJI’s proposed solution is reactive and far too late to ensure the safety and security of Americans and their data. "
"DJI also just
announced a new bug bounty program that would pay users to find vulnerabilities and bugs within their code that they would fix.
The program would give DJI community wide access to the best hackers who they could then exploit consumers of their products later on by using the very codes they worked on under the guise of safety and cleaning up buggy codes."
"The sheer scale of the threat posed by such a broad and deep espionage scheme should force all US companies and government actors to
take this problem seriously."
"While low-resolution visual depictions of these sites are widely available online, the high-resolution images and other data that could be collected by an unwitting fleet of consumer drones would be much more actionable."
"China’s growing and state-funded robotics schools will undoubtedly produce
war machines that are more able than ever to capitalize on such data.
Such schools are sponsored by DJI such as the
Robo Master 2017 which is in Singapore is a
Chinese state sponsored war machine incubator for the youth. "
Comment: All those saying it's wrong to "Hack" and deleting posts about modifying software need to really understand what the DJI folks are really doing with the software and firmware updates forced on us...
I recommend reading the article in full posted by Drone Master it's a "MUST READ" thanks
