Security Cocktail Hour

Drones Are the Next Cyber Weapon — And We're Not Ready


Listen Later

Luke Canfield has been building, flying, and hacking drones for years. In this episode, he walks us through the real intersection of drones and cybersecurity — war-flying attacks on financial institutions, cartel drone operations at the US-Mexico border, DIY drone building with no attribution, and why "security exists in three dimensions."

Topics covered:

  • War-flying: aerial man-in-the-middle attacks with drone-mounted Wi-Fi Pineapples
  • 3 real cases of drone-based cyberattacks against financial institutions
  • Mexican cartels: 330+ drone incursions/day at the US border
  • Ukraine: how the conflict advanced drone tech by 15 years
  • Drone detection: RF tracking, acoustic sensors, radar, AI
  • FAA regulations and fines up to $100K
  • Disaster response: mesh networks and radio repeaters via drones
  • The coming Part 108 era and why a fake Amazon drone is the next attack vector
