VIDEO: DJI IS OFFERING MONEY TO SECURITY RESEARCHERS TO STOP HACKERS...

DJI is offering between $100 and $30,000 to hackers who find and report vulnerabilities in the software of its unmanned aerial vehicles.

DJI drone-pilots have found ways to get around the limitations set up by Chinese maker DJI by hacking their drone's software. DJI now wants these hackers to work with the company to get these issues fixed instead. 

The DJI hackers have forced the company into an arms race where they found bugs and exploits where the company responded that they wanted to attempt to lock down its drones even more. Whether this community of hackers—who "root" or "jailbreak" drones in order to circumvent speed and altitude restrictions, as well as ignore "geofences" that prevent drones from taking off near airports and other sensitive areas—is willing to play ball with DJI remains to be seen.

Surely the people who find the bugs may feel compelled to report it or not, and then what if DJI never fixes the bugs, the bugs never get reported publicly and nobody benefits at the end of the day. 

DJI is asking for hackers to report these bugs via email to bugbounty@dji.com. In the end, it's up to the hacker whether they want or need the money that DJI is offering, in the meanwhile in the video below you can see a DJI getting hacked!
