Drones are hackable
 

Drones are being seen as a great way to deliver the post. Already Amazon has suggested that it might be interested in the technology.

Samy Kamkar thinks he might have a simple plan which will give control of those drones to anyone with $400 and an hour of free time.

Kamkar, who is a veteran security researcher and hacker, has built a drone platform, called Skyjack.

According to Threat Post his drone can forcibly disconnect another drone from its controller and then force the target to accept commands from the Skyjack drone. All of this is done wirelessly and doesn’t require the use of any exploit or security vulnerability.

He uses a Raspberry Pi and open-source software, but he said that anyone with a familiarity with Linux could build a Skyjack drone of his own in under an hour.
