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".
