CISA, FBI warns of Chinese-manufactured drones

CISA and the FBI issued guidance warning that Chinese-made drones used across critical infrastructure (e.g., energy, chemical, communications) may enable PRC-directed data collection and supply chain manipulation, citing risks from mandatory data-sharing laws, firmware updates, and potential reconnaissance of facilities. The advisory references recent Chinese threat activity (e.g., Volt Typhoon) as part of broader national security concerns and urges operators to mitigate risks and prefer U.S.-made systems, aligning with the American Security Drone Act restrictions.
