Sketchy DJI Android App

Yoast@notdigg.com to Technology@beehaw.org – 18 points –

Got a DJI drone as a birthday present and instead of having me install an apk directly from their website.

Does anybody know why this app isn't on the play store? Is this legit or just a vector for malware?

Given the size and reputation of DJI, you shouldn't have any concerns.

I'm sorry, but i disagree with this mentality. The size of a company means nothing. We've had so many security breaches from companies large and small. Be it from malice or incompetence.

And speaking of reputation, this, this, and this doesn't really scream "good reputation" to me.

Yeah remember the time that Sony (a large and well-respected company) intentionally included a rootkit on some 22 million audio CDs?

Good points and solid sources.
Thanks for the correction.
