I don't think it can be hacked this way.

[@notuxnobux]

Because of electromagnetic emissions from your hardware, your computer can be hacked even if you have no wireless. A hacker can get your password from either your wired keyboard, mouse, maybe even monitor, ram or harddrive. This exploit method is called Van Eck phreaking. The only way to protect against it is to surround your computer and devices with a faraday cage. Van Eck phreaking device can be built by anybody, not that expensive. If you see a suspicious van outside your house/building, be careful. Lol.

[@Journetta]

If it uses the same chip it probs can? Idk

[@FoxCoffeeGaming]

I got a new headset a few weeks back and was going to go with Bluetooth but went wired due to needing it for a bunch of things.

[@leerman22]

Probably doesn't use a HID driver anyways in order to use keyboard inputs.

[@FoxCoffeeGaming]

The last time I used a wireless mouse and keyboard was about a decade ago and the amount of batteries I went through caused me to go back to wired. Never looked back

[@BrainPermaDeD]

Certainly. Also wireless stuff lags a shit ton. I will not be surprised if we can exploit wireless ear/headphones and screw that up.

[@ВладиславПодрочивший]

Wow, this video is eye-opening and scary at the same time. It's amazing how quickly a drone can be used to hack into a computer. This just shows how vulnerable we are to cyber attacks and how important it is to take precautionary measures. It's imperative that we are aware of our online security and take steps to protect ourselves. Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@danuvip]

nice, I never felt that engaged on learning something

[@russellwarren9595]

i think that it is very possible that the drone would distract the user attention away from the monitor which would definitely aid in this attack

Some of these shots are so funny, knowing that drones are often loud as fuck😂. People just quietly doing their work while a drone goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRR behind them

[@Sumsubcom]

Yeah, you're right that drones are quite noisy (we experienced that while filming), but don't forget that many people work with their headphones or with a closed window, behind which you can't hear what is happening outside at all. That's why people don't really notice them :)

[@turtleswithbombs]

One of the simplest solution is to use a Wired mouse. Also I'm an Electronic hobbyist. If I remember correctly, one day when I was working on a damaged wireless mouse, It came to my notice that not only the receiver, but also the mouse itself uses the same nRF24 IC in it.

[@christianlongobardi5438]

One thing that should be noted... Almost all drone flight controllers put out 5v, and usually more than enough current to power everything needed here, so you don't even need the extra battery and voltage converter for the PI/wireless adapter. You could just power it off the main flight battery.

I don't think it's a good idea to shoot into the air in urban areas 😅 Those pellets will come down at some point if they miss the drone. As someone else mentioned there's electronic warfare solutions to this kind of attack.

I use wired mouse and keyboard, because of response time, as a gamer. I didn't even realize that some device might hijack a radio frequency used by some wireless HID devices and pretty much hijack and install malware remotely using a drone. I knew that a drone can carry some wifi stealer, or can carry a remotely operated camera which an eavesdropper might use to spy on the screens facing the window (which to be honest there is no real protection against it, maybe just shutting blinds might do the trick, if you have them tho). I would assume that the radio channel would be encrypted and secured. Turns out it's not. Well, time to tell coleagues who use those wireless mouses that this type of attack exists.
