A security researcher has devised a method of hijacking a wide variety of radio-controlled airplanes, helicopters, cars, boats and other devices. The attack was developed by Jonathan Andersson, manager of the Advanced Security Research Group at Trend Micro DVLabs. It targets a “wideband, frequency-agile 2.4GHz signal protocol” called DSMx. This protocol is used in radio-control (R/C) toys, including in drones, that are owned by millions of users.”]
