Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, said they have discovered a critical security vulnerability in autonomous target-tracking drones claimed to have far-reaching implications for public safety, border security and personal privacy.
That vulnerability is exploited by what they described as the “FlyTrap” method, which employs a physical attack framework that exploits deficiencies in camera-based, autonomous target-tracking technology that enables drones to follow selected targets without being directly controlled by humans. These “active track” or “dynamic track” models in the consumer world are AI-powered and used by local and federal law enforcement to track illegal border crossings, conduct surveillance for security purposes, or for other routine operations.
