\"Drone\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Joseph Wippl,<\/a> Professor of the Practice of International Relations at the <\/span>Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was recently interviewed on “GPS Spoofing,” a new\u00a0threat to national security in the United States. Spoofing involves\u00a0fooling the GPS on a plane, drone or other technology\u00a0 into reporting the wrong position or time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wippl was quoted in a January 24, 2017 article in\u00a0<\/em>The Observer<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>entitled “The Next Big Threat to National Security Is \u2018Spoofing\u2019.<\/a>”<\/p>\n

From the text of the article:<\/p>\n

Of course, it\u2019s against the law to spoof (or engage in jamming, for that matter) in the United States, but that won\u2019t deter terrorists or rivals intent on disrupting society\u2014and with potentially drastic consequences. Such a threat may more likely come from ISIS lone wolves, warned Joseph Wippl, a former Central Intelligence Agent who now teaches at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University. \u201cThe problem now is there are ISIS members trained in weaponry who will scatter throughout the world and could willingly die for their ideology,\u201d Wippl explained. \u201cIntelligence officials throughout the world will have their work cut out for them.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
