Drones are showing up where they shouldn’t — over backyards, pools, windows, driveways, campsites, neighborhoods, and even over insurance customers’ houses to jack up premiums. And here’s the terrifying part: nobody knows who owns them, and the laws protecting you are a mess.
In this episode of Legitimate Cybersecurity, Frank, Dustin, and Chris Adkins break down:
• The explosion of drone trespassing across the U.S.
• Drone “etiquette” (if such a thing exists)
• Why shooting down a drone might be illegal… but hijacking its open Wi-Fi might not be
• How insurance companies are secretly flying drones to deny coverage
• Whether YOU own the air above your home (the answer will piss you off)
• The ethics of taking over unencrypted drones
• Why the U.S. military once had its Predator drones hacked
• The insane world of bathtub drones and balloon monks
• And how long until drones accidentally kill someone and trigger a legal revolution
This episode is chaotic, hilarious, and honestly a little terrifying — one of our most eye-opening discussions yet.
