Pentagon: Insurgents intercepted drone spy videos - Yahoo! News
"... The Wall Street Journal first reported Thursday that Shiite fighters in Iraq used off-the-shelf software programs such as SkyGrabber — available for as little as $25.95 on the Internet — to regularly capture drone video feeds. The hacking was possible because some of the remotely flown planes have an unprotected communications link.
Officials say the Defense Department is working to encrypt the drone feeds."
Obviously, if the Iraqis can hack the drone video, so can the Taliban and Al Qaida. No wonder we haven't been able to hit Osama.
