The BBC reports on "Researchers use spoofing to 'hack' into a flying drone." Yay, humans finally are raging against the machine and spoofing GPS signals to hijack drones. Sadly, Noel Sharkey is quoted as saying "It's very dangerous - if a drone is being directed somewhere using its
GPS, [a spoofer] can make it think it's somewhere else and make it crash
into a building, or crash somewhere else, or just steal it and fill it
with explosives and direct somewhere."
I guess I'm just old fashioned and longing for the days of yore when we killed people through neglect, bayonets, or boring stories about what cute things our cats did today.
