It is concerning to see multiple security concerns raised by DJI. Some believe that DJI may be harvesting sensitive information for China's government. In July, the Department of Defense renewed its ban on DJI products, citing concerns about national security. Software applications from the company also collect personal information from their operator's smartphone. This feature has been removed from many of their flight control app.
Software applications by dji collect large amounts of personal information from an operator's smartphone.
The DJI company has accumulated large amounts of personal information on smartphones since its inception. This data could be used by the company to spy on Americans. A former Pentagon official claims that the company is sending sensitive data to China. The National Intelligence Law allows the Chinese government to force DJI to reveal such information. The company claims the data is used only for scientific research and that it is not sold to China.
DJI flight control apps were stripped of MobTech, Bugly components
MobTech, a component within DJI Android GO 4 apps, collects personal information and runs in background. Although the DJI privacy policies contain important provisions regarding the use and security of your data, the component MobTech is not applicable to your drone's flight purpose. MobTech can also collect information such as your cell network operator's identification (IMSI) from you. This data can be used by malicious people to steal sensitive data and gain access to your account.
WiFi authentication schema for DJI UAVs
DJI UAVs' default WiFi authentication is weak. Bad actors could gain access to your personal information and control your drone using this vulnerability. There are many ways you can secure your network connections. Here are some tips to help you secure your network connections.
DoD audit raised concern
DoD issued an audit earlier this month that raised questions about DJI drone security. The company replied to the audit saying it would implement the existing policy. DOD expressed concern about the company's recent listing in the Entity List. The U.S. Commerce Department has also classified the company as an alleged national security risk.
DJI states that its products are safe
Although China's National Security Law may not be the sole concern about DJI drones it is a significant one. The law requires organizations to share information with Chinese spies, and few Western governments trust Beijing. It is reasonable to assume that Chinese spy agencies will value data from DJI drones. However, DJI says that its products are safe and that any concerns are political and not related to safety.
