U.S. Interior Department grounds 800-strong drone fleet over security fears
The U.S. Department of the Interior (DoI) has grounded all 800 of its drones over security concerns, the Wall Street Journal reported. The multi-rotor, remotely controlled copters are used by the department for a range of tasks, including land and forest monitoring, dam inspections, and assisting efforts to tackle wildfires and other natural disasters.
But DoI Secretary David Bernhardt reportedly ordered his personnel to stop flying the drones — except in emergencies — amid fears that the Chinese-made machines could be used to send sensitive data back to China.
