The rapid advancement and proliferation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have revolutionized industries such as surveillance, logistics, agriculture, and disaster management. The number of drones increases and the era in which they begin to fill the skies approaches, an important aspect from a security and privacy perspective needs to be considered that takes into account the challenges that a large volume of flights will create. In this paper, security and privacy in the age of Internet drones are investigated. Drones are increasingly vulnerable to cyber attacks, such as hijacking, jamming, and data breaches, posing risks to both civilian and military operations. This paper presents a comprehensive review of current drone security challenges, including threats to communication systems, GPS vulnerabilities, and the potential for unauthorized access to onboard systems. Moreover, it explores existing mitigation strategies, such as encryption, secure communication protocols, and advanced detection mechanisms. The paper aims to highlight critical security gaps and propose future research directions to enhance the safety and resilience of UAV systems.
