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

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
