German media reported that MediaMarkt, the country’s largest electronics retailer, has removed drones made by Chinese firm DJI from its shelves. On Monday, DJI released a statement saying that this was due to the fact that the company and many of its partners were subjected to cyberattacks last week.
The statement claims that the German MediaMarktSaturn Retail Group, a DJI partner for many years, was also the victim of a hacker attack. Last Friday, a German company suspended the sale of DJI drones due to security concerns, and the two sides are still discussing the incident.
We have repeatedly stated that all DJI products are intended for civilian use and cannot meet the requirements of military use. It is completely wrong to blame DJI on foreign social platforms at this time. In addition, DJI’s internal compliance team consists of experienced professionals who ensure that DJI’s business is fully compliant with international regulations.
DJI was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Shenzhen City in southern China. However, in recent years, DJI has faced increasing restrictions from the US government due to national security concerns. San Francisco-based software company Figma had previously begun severing ties with DJI to enforce sanctions.
Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Mikhail Fedorov officially demanded that the Chinese manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles DJI stop helping Russia .
