🧸 Cyberattack deals blow to Russian firmware used to repurpose civilian drones for Ukraine war

｢ The developers claim around 200,000 drones had been updated with the 1001 firmware as of March. While not widely known, the software removes manufacturer-imposed flight limits, improves resistance to GPS spoofing, and enables the use of high-capacity batteries, all of which makes them more suitable for military missions ｣
