Interesting the Matrice 200 was mentioned in there.  If someone hacks your drone while flying they can gain more than just control over flight I guess.  You personal info via DJI GO and Assistant/Apple ID?

Interesting that they say Apple didn't check the DJI app for complying with Apple's security protocols.  I thought Apple would have better control over what the app can send.  Hopefully, the app is just sending my pics of me (middle aged out of shape guy) wear wearing my thong underwear,...backwards.  "Feast your eyes!"

LOL.  It would be just punishment for the hacker.

I am where it is snowing tonight.  Took a friends spare snowmobile out tonight and left the thong behind.  Winter jacket and thermals on so I wound up very over heated and sweating.  My first time riding a sled.  Had to stop to take off the jacket and vent.  If they take them out tomorrow in the new snow fall, I will try to chase them with the Spark.

Plenty to photograph in the winter.
