  • Independent cyber audit finds zero malware or backdoors in DJI drones

    From Lawrence D?Oliveiro@3:633/10 to All on Saturday, May 30, 2026 07:50:57
    So the Americans are still paranoid about products from Chinese
    company DJI, worried they might have secret backdoors giving access to
    the PRC Government or something.

    So what did DJI do? They hired an American security company to tear a
    couple of their products apart. And they found

    ... no evidence of data being transmitted outside the U.S., no
    hidden backdoors, and no successful attempts to hack or tamper
    with either aircraft.

    How?s that? ZERO vulnerabilities.

    Of course, would you really trust an American company to be smart enough
    to find backdoors in Chinese-developed software?

    So... where one lives determines intelligence?

    What next? Skin color determining personhood?

    And yet people still wonder where the likes
    of racism, ageism, and sexism come from....

    That?s not quite true. They found 10 low risk issues and had 13
    additional observations, if you click through to the executive summary.

    Of course, would you really trust an American company to be smart enough
    to find backdoors in Chinese-developed software?

    Deranged question.

    Indeed.
