Rather entertaining story, in particular the following:

Quote:
Insurgents in Iraq have hacked into live video feeds from unmanned American drone aircraft, US media reports say.

Shia fighters are said to have used off-the-shelf software programs such as SkyGrabber to capture the footage.

The hacking was possible because the remotely flown planes have an unprotected communications link.

LOL, I bet the US are happy they didn't hack into the controls and steal them :D

They'll be down PC World today asking for a security upgrade service :D

Oh dear, don't the terrorists know the Americans don't like that? They will want them to come over to the US for a trial and one state will even want them executed.
