A user/group named "Parastoo" has been hacking targets like IHS Janes: http://cryptome.org/2013/02/parastoo-janes-cbrn.htm Recently has started making statements about hijacking drones: http://cryptome.org/2013/07/parastoo-uav-launch2.htm TLDR: Iranian chap(s) have been on a hacking spree and seem to be honing in on what they like to target. In this case US drones over US skies/assets.
US drones over US skies Are you saying the US uses drones on their own territory? If yes, what for? Spying their own people comes to my mind, but maybe I read to much spy stories lately and there are legitimate reasons.
The US does use drones over its own territory, but whether it's for "legitimate reasons" is still a controversial matter. One planned use for them, if not already, is to patrol the US-Mexican border.
The FBI has very recently admitted to using them for domestic surveillance, but I don't think specifics were mentioned.

#33That page is so incredibly foreign to me - right justified, stuff from right appears on left, things from top on bottom etc. I'm surprised how striking I found it.
What if I tell you all your favorite website has right-to-left layout for right-to-left languages like Arabic, Hebrew and Farsi?

of course we do
I'm sorry, I don't believe that. I mean, all this Internet and telecommunication surveillance is one thing - and a bad thing for sure, but spying drones is in another ballpark.
I'll just leave this here from Orwell's 1984:
In the far distance a helicopter skimmed down between the roofs,
hovered for an instant like a bluebottle,
and darted away again with a curving flight.
It was the police patrol, snooping in people's windows.Re: Iranian Hackers Post Images Over JFK Airport From UAV That Was Hijacked In March

Yeah, I really would have appreciated some warning for that.
...why? Because it's arabic? Ooohhh, scary arabic. Or they're talking about spies and bombs? Don't we talk about those things on hacker news too? I can't read it, I'm working my way through the google translation and just starting, so maybe it's all "bad" stuff, but to be honest, I hope iranians can shed some light on what our government is doing - the US government itself certainly isn't going to help with that.
Actually the challenge is drive-by injection not the site per-se. Chrome didn't flag it as such but if you spend time crawling the web you will notice that it is a not-unusual weapon in the arsenal to put up a web site, and have it inject visitors with a tracking cookie/script/trojan. Sort of a variation on honeypots.
Thus it helps to be alert when popping into such sites.

#39I made a brief timeline of Parastoo hacks when submitting the Cryptome.org article on this topic. The hacker(s) referenced VSATs and drone hijacking after hacking IHS Janes, pre-JFK drone incident. They then started to reference the JFK incident in further releases about hijacking US drones over US skies/assets:

Re: Iranian Hackers Post Images Over JFK Airport From UAV That Was Hijacked In March
#40My take on this is that someone is claiming that the UAV that crashed in Iran (supposedly hacked) had images on its hard drive of the JFK airport. That person is basically claiming that the UAV was at one point flown over JFK airport at some previous time before the US moved the UAV to the middle east.
The person does not claim that. Where did you draw this from?
