Does anyone know the type of security used between the controller - drone - controller. In regards to mitigating interception and "hijacking" the signals/data from an outside operative.

Funny thing is. even the military drones have been hacked many times: Militants Hack Unencrypted Drone Feeds (eweek.com) so I am sure any consumer grade drone has far less protection than that. The bad news is there's no financial incentive for consumer drone makers to add more security to their drones. The good news is there's also no financial incentive to hacking consumer drones not to mention the whole within range requirement.Thats what I figured
DJI supporting geofencing is why I never even considered any of their drones, restricting a user out of the box and forced updates is disgusting on so many levels.
They might make a solid product but having so many restrictions is unacceptable.
I believe it's the "law" (RID) in 2023, wear a flack jacket under your orange vestWhat about the authorities intercepting the telemetry and pilot location on the ground?
Wow it forced a landing in the water ?!, that is insane and I would not let that go especially when it should “return to home” if geofencing keeps messing with it not just land where it is.
The more I hear about DJI the more I shake my head saying they are a terrible company. Forced e-mail sign up , and forced activation ? what is this a nanny state, or some big brother nonsense, hell with all that I would not even bother if DJI was the only one. Hell I refused to buy a drone due to just knowing how much DJI was humping geofencing for many years,
Autel got a customer because of the “you can fly it out of the box”, and no geofencing, I do not see any reason to jump through all that garbage just to play around or get good nature footage with a drone.
What about if you want to fly incognito? Is it possible to do that now with the actual drone line-up?
[At the moment the EVO II is as close as it gets to flying incognito and even with the EVO II, if you upgrade to the latest firmware there is now an activation process which requires an Internet connection before you can connect to the EVO II. I feel like that's the first step Autel is making in the DJI geofencing direction or it could be their first step towards Remote ID but I hope I'm wrong.]
Is that true, that after activation I can't fly without making an internet connection? I am still a couple of updates old.
I agree. My first drone was the DJI MP. Love the drone, still fly it, however, having to ask permission to fly my skies ( USA) FAA, is one thing, NP with that, but to have to ask permission from a company I purchased their product that is in another country's redilcuous.DJI supporting geofencing is why I never even considered any of their drones, restricting a user out of the box and forced updates is disgusting on so many levels.
