Malaware kills a drone ...

Came across this article recently, and I thought I'd share with the group.

IMHO, Drone security will take front stage this year as the drone market opens up and the Feds come up with new rules. Recently there was another news about a drone being found in the White House front yard (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/27/us/white-house-drone.html?_r=0). Maybe, there could be a way to implement some mandatory No_Fly Zones within the firmware to keep in accordance with the FAA rules (like not flying over or around the Government establishments or military zones). Just a thought -- and I know that there are pros and cons to this, but I'd love to hear the thoughts from others on this topic.
