Snoopy takes advantage of a feature built into all smartphones and tablets: When mobile devices try to connect to the Internet, they look for networks theyve accessed in the past. [...] the drone can send back a signal pretending to be networks youve connected to in the past. When the phones connect to the drone, Snoopy will intercept everything they send and receive. [...] That includes the sites you visit, credit card information entered or saved on different sites, location data, usernames and passwords. [...] Users can protect themselves by shutting off Wi-Fi connections and forcing their devices to ask before they join networks. This is a commercial drone. The NSA already uses this technology.
