Video Surveillance

Somewhat disturbing news is coming out of the pentagon today, confirming reports that insurgents in Iraq and possibly Afghanistan have been able to hack into the video surveillance feed of U.S. military drones.

The video feeds were unencrypted, so the insurgents were able to view the feeds with a piece of $26 software.

After the breach, the military says it’s working to encrypt the surveillance video that it collects form Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
