On October 24, 2026, amidst the excitement of GeekCon, a premier hacker competition held in Shanghai, a notable drone manufacturer took an unexpected step by reporting to the police. The manufacturer alleged that the event was "encouraging the hacking of drones." This move resulted in the detention of several participants and judges, and ultimately led to the suspension of the event.
Cybersecurity expert Tan Xiaosheng clarified that GeekCon maintains a strict policy of not disclosing specific vulnerability details or revealing the manufacturers of the devices involved. Meanwhile, Wang Qi, the chairman of the organizing committee, expressed strong disapproval of the manufacturer's actions. He argued that such a move erodes the trust that should exist between security researchers and manufacturers, which is crucial for the advancement of cybersecurity.
