The AeroScope signals are not encrypted, despite what we wrote in a previous version of this post — even though DJI and an independent source both told us they were encrypted, and DJI insisted they were when we did a fact-check, DJI now admits that they aren’t encrypted at all. So they could be picked up by other kinds of receivers.

Something that stuck out to me:
So the verge just took a foreign for profit company at their word, and called it “fact checking”???
Modern investigative journalism everybody!
And who is this independant source? How did they get their info? Did that independant source ALSO just call DJI?
