I’ve recently bought that Rovio robot for my son’s birthday, the device is pretty cool but it explores the room all by himself and sometimes I’m afraid that somebody can gain control over it. Is it really possible and how to stop it if it does?
This is why the Russian jammers and the new “special forces” against the drones that operate them do not necessarily pose an existential risk to UAVs of the US Army. Russian drone hunters may have trouble finding targets. “It would seem hard to do unless you know where they are going to be and when,” said a former US drone developer on condition of anonymity.
The disturbance of the GPS is not limited to jamming. There are more and more reports that Russians have expanded their ability to usurp system signals with point receivers in the wrong place. In June 2017, we reported on the report of the US Maritime Administration on such incidents in the Black Sea, where ship navigation equipment indicated their location inland. Other reports of location errors had already been reported in Moscow among the players of the popular Pokemon Go mobile phone game, which relies on the GPS signal jammer locator services of a mobile device.
Rovio robot is mounted with a rather sensitive wireless microphone, so you will be able to hear all that happens near it. As far as it is Wi-Fi enabled you can control it with almost every internet connected device. It may be a tablet, PC or a smartphone and you can do it from any place in the world where internet connection can be found.
As you know, Wi-Fi connections are vulnerable to various kinds of attacks and that’s why the answer to your question is yes. Someone can really take control over your Rovio to spy on you at your house. But luckily jammer-store.com has a solution right up for you. To block Rovio’s controls you may try to use a Wi-Fi jammer device, which will block all the signals at 2.4 GHz frequency that is used for wireless networks. The only ghost effect that can be here is that that Bluetooth will actually be blocked too as it uses the same frequency!
