A hacker tried to sell sensitive documents about a U.S. military drone on the dark web, says a cybersecurity firm. The material was allegedly stolen from an Air Force captain’s computer.
The documents, while not classified, included a maintenance course book about the MQ-9 Reaper drone and a list of airmen assigned to the drone’s maintenance unit. The drone, capable of operating by remote control or autonomously, is used by the U.S. military and other agencies to conduct surveillance, reconnaissance, and offensive strikes.
