Hackers had access to the flight paths, photos, and aerial video footage collected by the world’s largest seller of drones for consumers, adding to fears about the security of pilotless flying devices. 

Access to customer accounts of Chinese-based drone maker SZ DJI Technology Co could be gained via a vulnerability on the company’s website forum, according to a report from Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.
