WARNING! Drones Are Now Being Used To Expose Bank Details and Passwords–Hackers Access 150 Phones An Hour Through Wi-Fi! (Videos)
If our privacy wasn’t already invaded enough, drones can now expose your personal bank information, including passwords. Hackers are also able to access 150 phones per hour through Wi-Fi. This is VERY dangerous! If you are like most people, you are not only uncomfortable with this, but outraged and terrified!
Drones Are Now Being Used To Expose Bank Details and Passwords! Hackers Access 150 Phones An Hour!
Experts in London have proved it’s possible to use drones to steal data by modifying an aircraft capable of tapping into a phone’s Wi-Fi settings. Once the aircraft gained access, it was able to not only read, but steal personal information! The name of this drone is “Snoopy” and it takes advantage of smartphones that actively search for networks. By so doing, it can also see networks through devices it has accessed in the past. Even more disturbing, during the tests, hackers revealed personal credit card information and passwords! Mail Online
There seems to be nothing we can do anymore to protect our privacy, our freedoms, or our very lives. Everything we once held dear and precious is out there for anyone to utilize, steal, reveal, and more, as they so desire.
London-based Sensepost security researcher Glenn Wilkinson, said: ‘Your phone connects to me and then I can see all of your traffic.’ He can see the websites someone visits, any credit card information that has been entered or saved, their location, usernames and passwords.
What does this mean for us if something like this were to get into the wrong hands? The effects would be devastating, to say the least!
But how did they do it? The hackers gain access by studying a Media Access Control (MAC) address, which is a unique identification number. This number matches web traffic to a particular device, and then BINGO…they’re in!
To prove its overall effectiveness, Wilkinson spent an hour with CNN demonstrating how he was able to collect network names and GPS coordinates for 150 smartphones used by people living in London. Collecting metadata and network names is not necessarily illegal, although intercepting passwords and credit card information with intentions of using them is.
There are no known reports to date of this happening, however if you own a smartphone, you can take precautions by turning off your Wi-Fi when you are not using it, and be sure to only access secure networks.
See for yourself in the below video. Wilkinson demonstrates for you the step-by-step process.

This Drone Can Steal What’s On Your Phone
They probably already know your bra size and panty size so don’t worry Lyn.
A good reason not to have a cell phone (unless you’re addicted) or wi-fi. I only use direct connection and don’t have to put up with those types of impositions. Here is another good reason to stay away from the electronic soup.
