Malware is no longer limited to PCs, mobile devices, corporate networks and Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets -- your drones are now also vulnerable to hijacking.
The use of drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), has expanded into the commercial consumer sector within the past few years. Now relatively cheap to produce, tiny, personal UAVs can be purchased and used for a variety of purposes -- from advanced photography to capturing sports and spying upon
Apple construction sites.
UAVs are no longer held within the domain of war, government surveillance and the like -- and now, a backdoor in popular consumer devices has been discovered which could allow hackers to hijack Parrot AR drones.
