(Before It's News)

Researchers have demonstrated how their technique can wreak havoc with the gun's targeting computer, causing it to miss its target, prevent it from firing or even disable the scope completely. Pictured is a self-aiming weapon manufactured by TrackingPoint

**Highly Disturbing**  US Military’s Smart Weapons Can Be Remotely Hacked Changing Target & Disable its Scope! Murder By Remote Control

Will any one of us be the next target?! What will terrorists think of next? Check out this disturbing report!

 

You and I are in the grid. Driving our car, calling our family, even leisurely hanging out at home. We are all increasingly becoming rats in a digital cage compliments of our own elected power hungry government criminals, I mean officials…nah I’ll stick with criminals. Bill of Rights, who cares right? When you have a new app that can take down every detail of your personal life….and use it against you….forever.

We can all thank Gun Grabber/Arms Deliverer Eric Holder for introducing smart gun technology. Now, Security researchers have hacked the US military’s smart rifles remotely changing the target and disabling its scope in order to commit an unintentional murder.
The Daily mail reports “….now hacking researchers have revealed that they can take control of the weapons remotely, changing their target or disabling the weapon completely.”

Small nano robots resembling bees, flies, and pond skaters have already been developed to get close to any Constitution loving criminal the government deems necessary to spy on. And if the government’s obsession with corralling Americans hasn’t gone far enough. Globalist shill, Mark Zuckerberg will be sending laser data beaming drones 60,000 to 90,000 feet to remote areas on planet earth so there will be absolutely nowhere to hide, from a government intrusion or the hack attack of that government intrusion, except space…maybe

US military’s smart rifle can be HACKED: Security researchers remotely change weapon’s target and disable its scope

  • Hackers took control of the rifle using its ability to access Wi-Fi networks
  • Gun has a default password that allows anyone with access to connect to it
  • They were able to change the target by feeding data to the scope computer
  • However the hackers were not able to make the gun fire without the trigger being pulled by the shooter

Last year the US army confirmed it was testing smart rifles with computer-guided scopes that can aim themselves.

But now hacking researchers have revealed that they can take control of the weapons remotely, changing their target or disabling the weapon completely.

The hack is based on the smart rifle’s Wi-Fi connection, and has the potential to make the weapons – which were delivered to the US army last year – vulnerable to being hijacked.

TrackingPoint, the company that makes the smart rifles, uses cameras, sensors and Linux software to make its weapons that can turn even an inexperienced marksman into a deadly sniper.

Last year it was reported that the US army had acquired six of the weapons for testing, but the company marketed them primarily to hunters.

But researchers Runa Sandvik and Michael Auger have revealed a way to hijack the guns, and they plan to present their research at the Black Hat hacker conference in two weeks, according to Wired. Read More
