Most certainly it could be. The Mavic could be hijacked from upto 7km away, the full range of the primary controller. The 'simplest' hack would be to clone the primary controller thus fooling the drone into accepting the commands from the controller that is closest to the Mavic. However, 'simple' means the hacker would need access to the primary controller to clone it. I'm sure a smart hacker could avoid this by 'inserting' a signature/code into the RF signal that fools the Mavic into thinking it is it's unique signature/code, thus controlling any Mavic remotely. To do this the hacker would need to exploit a fault in the Mavic Firmware. AS you KNOW...the Mavic Firmware is ROCK SOLID and without any errors...therefore any exploit is unlikely |
