Saw this article thought I would share.
DJI Is Locking Down Its Drones Against a Growing Army of DIY Hackers
DJI Is Locking Down Its Drones Against a Growing Army of DIY Hackers
DJI should worry because if these drones cause accidents that end up in dead or major disaster... Is not the hackers that authorities will look at it, it's DJI that is going to be guilty.Reminds me of Niantic and their Pokémon smartphone app vs reverse engineering hackers. No matter what Niantic did or how much money they threw at the problem they were unable to outmaneuver the hackers.
Moral of the story? DJI should focus on building the best quality app that they can and not waste time or profit worrying about hackers.

Well I am not saying that had happened but I am just saying that if these drone's firmware get hacked and caused a major injury to someone, falling from the sky. It's not the hackers that authorities will be checking on, it's DJI.Really? Could you cite any examples of major disasters or deaths from the DJI drones? I would be very interested in reading them.
Perhaps you can point me to a few flyways you think were caused by DJI updates?DJI 's upgrades are safe? No fly aways. Lol DJI says lot of upgrades coming without notice to fight unsafe drones. I say lot of fly aways coming. It's going to get bad.

Respectfully, your assumption is somewhat naive. Were DJI to code firmware in such a manner that "cause accidents that end up in dead or major disaster..." and the egregiousness of that code could not be proven because it was (a) encrypted, and/or (b) otherwise obfuscated; then you'd be screaming for someone to reverse the code to prove a basis on which to hold them liable. Good luck with that. Even if DJI were to give up their source code and issues were discovered; correlating those issues to an actual event and proving that event was entirely out of an operators direct control would be Herculean at best. Good luck with that.DJI should worry because if these drones cause accidents that end up in dead or major disaster...

Yes, seriously ... point me to a few of these incidents.SERIOUSLY???? This forum is full of them unless you are calling your forum members liars.
