Islamic Terrorists hacks US drone video feeds

Terrorist of Iraq with the support of some Iranian hackers have hacked the video feeds of US pilot-less Predator Drone plane .The US military is reported to be in quiet uproar after it emerged that Iraqi terrorists have hacked and monitored the video feeds from Predators, pilotless aircraft used for unmanned surveillance.

Terrorists Used SkyGrabber Software to Hack Drone Video Feeds .Skygrabber,is a just US$25.95 Windows application.Using this software terrorist intercepted live video feeds from U.S. Predator drones, potentially providing them with information they need to evade or monitor U.S. military operations.This incident raised fears of remote control operated unmanned crafts being taken over and used against British and American targets.Though the insurgents were not able to control the 20 million dollar aircraft with their latest hacking techniques, they could watch live video feeds

The wall street journal said that the US military discovered their video feeds were being hacked late last year when they confiscated a terrorist laptop containing multiple copies of video feeds from Predator drones.

The military's suspicions were confirmed in July this year when further hacked video feed files were found on other confiscated laptops "leading some officials to conclude that militant groups trained and funded by Iran were regularly intercepting feeds".
