某组织近日盗取了15架工业级化学喷洒无人机,被FBI定性为“长期未见的精密盗窃”。失窃的Ceres Air C31无人机单价达5.8万美元,可精准喷洒大量液体。当局担忧这些设备可能被用于散布生物或化学武器,结合暗网上易获取的危险物质制备指南,构成了重大的公共安全威胁。此次事件凸显了先进技术设备被恶意利用时,所带来的严峻安全挑战。
"Nightmare scenario"
On the SAME DAY, some group - possibly terrorists - stole 15 chemical-spraying drones.
"The FBI is freaked out for a good reason.
These aren't hobby drones. They're industrial sprayers designed to carry an disperse significant amounts of liquid quickly and with precision."
"This was one of the most highly sophisticated thefts 【the FBI】 have seen in a long time, which is the main thing that has them so spooked."
The FBI is concerned the chemical-spraying drones could be used to disperse biological or chemical weapons.
"Even common chemicals, used improperly, can be a public safety danger. Throw in the internet recipes for biological and chemical weapons that anyone with a Tor browser has access to, and this is a potential nightmare scenario."
