Predator drone video transmission hacked

Tag: (i)realidad — Joaquim Anguas @ 5:46 pm

I like how guys at boingboing put this:

1 Predator drone: $4.5 million

Intercepting video from the Predator drone’s unprotected communications link: $25.95″

Subverting technology is always way cheaper than creating it.

We can expect more (and bigger) things happen following this trend.

WSJ via boingboing.

Update: Looks like not only Predator UAVs are vulnerable. Most USA warplanes are.

Update 2: And ground robots…

    Aixo ho vam comentar bastant al curru, realment sigui un dron predator o un simple DRM, no pots esperar que cap sistema aguanti, quan tens la resta de la poblacio mundial amb temps lliure hurgant per petar ho que has fet…
