Anonymous Coward User ID: 83064186 South Korea 09/14/2023 09:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Security firm SensePost has unveiled its Snoopy drone, which can steal data from unsuspecting smartphone users, at the Black Hat security conference in Singapore. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56176571 The drone uses the company's software, which is installed on a computer attached to a drone. That code can be used to hack smartphones and steal personal data - all without a user's knowledge. It does this by exploiting handsets looking for a wireless signal. Glenn Wilkinson, who developed Snoopy, says that when the software is attached to a drone flying around an area, it can gather everything from a user's home address to his or her bank information. "Every device we carry emits unique signatures - even pacemakers come with wi-fi today," Mr Wilkinson tells the BBC. "And - holy smokes, what a bad idea."
