Chinese-made drone app in Google Play spooks security researchers

Chinese-made drone app in Google Play spooks security researchers

Some of the info seems a little fishy to me, and there's no denying that the comments (and comment rankings) are highly politicized...

Comments?
Thank you for posting this. Chinese exploitation of technology for covert spying is no surprise. But what changed? See "until recently" in the article cited.

"The Android version of DJI Go 4—an app that lets users control drones—has until recently been covertly collecting sensitive user data and can download and execute code of the developers’ choice, researchers said in two reports that question the security and trustworthiness of a program with more than 1 million Google Play downloads."

Best comment in this article: Ha, these are standard features on any Chinese Android app. Guess they (maybe intentionally) forgot to remove them from the Google Play version
