In the once beautiful and peaceful northern Israeli town of Metula, now under surveillance and pinpointed attack by Hizbullah from Lebanon, residents hired an expensive quadcopter drone to assess the damage to homes in the now deserted town.

The drone was raised to the air but shortly after was seen flying to Lebanon and disappearing there. Its systems have been compromised, hacked, and hijacked.

To prevent this, software, which cannot be accessed by remote control can lock a restricted area where it can fly, and any compromise (or loss of a password signal) will send it flying back home.
