An experiment conducted by researchers at a US university has shown that drones could easily be hijacked. A technique known as spoofing involves using a more powerful signal to imitate the drone's source GPS signal, hijacking the drone and taking control of it. Experts fear that once hijacked, the rogue drones could be used as weapons. SOURCES: Fox, Wired
