Have you ever considered that a drone can access your corporation network?

A research center at the Singapore University of Technology and Design created a project that uses a drone to steal documents sent to a printer.

They developed two applications:

• Cybersecurity Patrol – To detect open WiFi printers and automatically notify the organization’s IT department.
• Another app (unknown name) – Once an open wireless printer is detected, this app uses the smartphone to establish a fake access point that mimics the printer and tricks PCs to send documents to it instead of the real printer.


The project used a smart phone connected to a drone that can hover outside a corporation.

Besides Drone, the group also devised a robotic vacuum cleaner that can also scan for vulnerable networks while it cleans an office's floors.

Here is how the drone works:
