Several years ago, photos and videos from the Predator drone cameras were found on insurgents' computers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Predator drone used an unencrypted communication protocol so ground troops could view the video on portable video receivers.
They never counted on anyone else "flipping through the channels", and then googling how to fix a scrambled video feed.
The lesson?
NEVER rely on security through obscurity.
You'll find that there are plenty of teams and individuals who shout. You'll also find there are a smaller subset of teams and individuals that do. Those that do tend to be the ones that get their way. - Lil' Lavery [more]
