EVERY STEP YOU TAKE, EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE — The Chinese-made drones will be watching you.
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill on the Senate Homeland Security, Commerce and Intelligence committees have received classified briefings from federal officials and drone industry experts on hundreds of intrusions into secure airspace by recreational drones made by Chinese company DJI.
The drones are supposed to be locked out of D.C.’s restricted airspace, but with simple tweaks, those geofencing restrictions can be overridden.
The revelations have stoked concerns about espionage. DJI is not owned by the Chinese government but has strong financial ties to the government and public records list Beijing-backed individuals among its investors, report Bryan Bender and Andrew Desiderio.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee: “Any technological product with origins in China or Chinese companies holds a real risk and potential of vulnerability that can be exploited both now and in a time of conflict.”
“Anything that’s technological has the capability of having embedded, in the software or in the actual hardware, vulnerabilities that can be exploited at any given moment,”
Recent data shared with Congress illustrates the vast scope of the issue: there were more than 100 intrusions into the “special flight rules” area in the Washington region in just a 45-day period. Drone operators must obtain waivers from the FAA to fly inside the area, but these did not.
Hundreds of Chinese-manufactured drones have been detected in restricted airspace over Washington, D.C., in recent months, a trend that national security agencies fear could become a new means for foreign espionage.
The recreational drones made by Chinese company DJI, which are designed with “geofencing” restrictions to keep them out of sensitive locations, are being manipulated by users with simple workarounds to fly over no-go zones around the nation’s capital.
