DJI admits that AeroScope drone tracking signals aren’t encrypted, after claiming otherwise for almost a month, letting anyone track its drones and their pilots

dji收購dji AeroScope actually is, how it works, what it was designed for, and what, if anything,
dji收購dji could actually do to prevent people from getting killed using its tech. But a hacker pointed out that
dji收購dji wasn’t being truthful with us on at least one point — and the company is now admitting it. The AeroScope signals broadcast by every modern
dji收購dji drone aren’t actually encrypted,
dji收購dji now says.This means: governments and others with technical ability may not need an AeroScope to see the exact position of every
dji收購dji drone and the exact location of every pilot nearby.To be clear, both
dji收購dji spokesperson Adam Lisberg and drone forensics expert David Kovar told us that these signals were encrypted. And when hacker Kevin Finisterre suggested to us that was wrong, we checked with
dji收購dji again. It was only after Finisterre repeatedly debunked the claim that
dji收購dji admitted to The Verge, almost a month later, that it wasn’t actually true.
dji收購dji’s Lisberg says it’s his fault but also tells us that his R&D contacts in China repeatedly told him it was encrypted and that it took senior managers to step in and admit it wasn’t true. It’s not entirely surprising that AeroScope signals are unencrypted, by the way:
dji收購dji originally envisioned Drone ID (now known as AeroScope) as a technology other drone companies would use, too. And governments like the United States are already planning to mandate that your drone broadcasts your physical location by 2023 — it won’t be optional, and it’s not clear to me if those signals will be encrypted either. As
dji收購dji’s former VP of Policy and Legal Affairs Brendan Schulman points out to me on Twitter, they almost certainly won’t. We pressed Lisberg on some of the other claims he made in the piece since we want to ensure other information is correct. There aren’t currently any other corrections, but he did admit that, yes,
dji收購dji could prematurely revoke an AeroScope certificate to disable it, though that would only affect stationary units that are connected to its own AWS servers — and that it could also theoretically see the GPS positions of those AeroScope receivers that way (though likely not the ones used by Russian military or the portable ones which do not connect to AWS at all). Lisberg also says, “I have been once again told that Sentinel and Supervisor do not exist,” referring to an ominous-sounding program that Finisterre found during a
dji收購dji data breach in 2017. Finisterre has suggested that the program is evidence that, at least in China,
dji收購dji is mining data on its users, but
dji收購dji has denied that, telling The Verge it was simply a proposal on how
dji收購dji could theoretically do some targeted advertising but that it never actually happened.Finisterre has also pointed out that
dji收購dji did have a way to remotely turn off the AeroScope signals that its drones broadcast until it disabled that in later updates. It appears there may still be a way to send commands to the drone to mask a pilot’s coordinates, though.Yesterday,
dji收購dji announced it’s halting all shipments of products and all after-sales support for both Russia and Ukraine.Update, 7:17PM ET: Added drone lawyer (and former

專業相機媒體《DPReview》稍早公開一系列由專業編輯評選的年度獎項,近年在市場上遭遇挑戰的 Nikon 一口氣大翻盤,機皇以超強的規格一舉奪下年度最佳產品,擊敗了 Sony Alpha 1、Canon EOS R3 等強敵。

《DPReview》表示,Nikon Z9 是目前最像單反相機的無反機款,但規格上卻像是攝影師的夢幻清單,原本就能預期用於靜態攝影會十分強大,然而 Nikon 在動態攝影的領域更讓人驚喜,像是被點名的規格包含 8K/60p 錄影、4K ProRes RAW 等格式。

獲得亞軍的則是富士的中片幅相機 GFX 100S,提供 1 億畫素是當前主流全片幅追不上的畫質表現,更有新的防震系統,以及 5.5EV 規格表現。其他有被提名的機款包含,Sony Alpha 1、
dji收購dji Air 2S。Alpha 1 雖然也獲得「年度最佳旗鑑」的獎項,但在整體評價上來說,Z9 在規格、售價之間的平衡仍獲得較多青睞。

除了專業相機,《DPReview》也評選了最佳的拍照手機,是由蘋果 iPhone 13 Pro 奪得,其中提到升級的感光元件、新加入的電影模式及 HDR 表現。至於 Pixel 6 Pro 則獲得亞軍,被認為是當前最棒的 Android 拍照手機。其餘提名機款包含三星 S21 Ultra、Sony Xperia PRO-I。
