Get The Facts: DJI AeroScope

I received an interesting article from the grapevine regarding DJI drones:

Get The Facts: DJI AeroScope

I didn’t read DJI’s article, but they’re sure embroiled in a lot of controversy: DJI - Wikipedia

Here is a small snippet that gave me enough understanding of DJI’s idea of security:

Every DJI drone automatically transmits AeroScope information; users are not able to turn the signal off because that would defeat AeroScope’s purpose of promoting accountable and responsible drone use. Unlike other DJI drone data, the AeroScope signal was originally unencrypted by design, since it is meant to be easily processed by a receiver that may not be nearby. And while it was not encrypted, it was protected by a proprietary signal protocol that is not easily understood.

And while it was not encrypted, it was protected by a proprietary signal protocol that is not easily understood.

Security by obscurity. What could go wrong?
