UK.gov: Firms can't fondle your smart meter privates...

Thought SMART meters were to be optional

I thought our new lords & masters had decided that the use of these meters was to be at the consumers discretion.

US spy drone hijacked with GPS spoof hack, report says

how???

I'm sure someone on here can correct my ignorance but!!!

I understand that the Iranians could probably/possibly spoof the co-ordinates to the drone, thus confusing it. But they'd presumably have to then feed it the the location it was pre-programmed to land at so it'd decide it'd reached it's waypoint and touch down, this would alos need to co-incide with a reasonably level bit of land where it could land with trashing it's self. Perhaps that's why the landing gear wasn't visible.

Which in turn means they'd need to understand where it came from, which isn't unlikely I suppose.

Anyone know enough to comment on this?
