Using Electromagnetic Fault Injection Attacks to take over drones

securityaffairs.com | Electromagnetic fault injection (EMFI) attacks on drones can potentially allow attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution and take over them.
While the use of drones continues to grow, researchers from IOActive analyzed how to develop fault injection attacks against hardened Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
