You think the NSA can convince a mainland Chinese company to install backdoors for Americans? Seriously dubious…
No, but they might be able to convince the guy that flashes the firmware. That would be cheaper anyway.
Do they even need to? If we assume the network is compromised and that the third party servers are compromised or can be with a warrant why bother owning the drones?
DJI is a Chinese company.
Exactly my point. The NSA is only allowed to work overseas.
