Hackers can use drones to find a way into your financial life either through the devices internet connection or camera.

"Anything WIFI is hacakble. Anything bluetooth can be compromised," Siciliano said.

Siciliano warns If you don't update the drones firmware and use password protected Wi-Fi your drone can be hijacked.
