Two US government agencies, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), warned on Wednesday that drones made in China could be used to gather information on critical infrastructure.
“The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has enacted laws that provide the government with expanded legal grounds for accessing and controlling data held by firms in China. The use of Chinese-manufactured unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in critical infrastructure operations risks exposing sensitive information to PRC authorities,” according to a a statement on the CISA website. The statement does not name any brands.
