So here’s a weird crossover from my day job and hobbies. I was out with my drone the other day, practicing some storyboarding for a short film, and captured some great footage of an old tree coming down in a storm. Later, while thinking about data integrity (a big part of my work in compensation analysis), a strange thought hit me.
If my drone’s video file of that event was compromised or altered by a hack before I could verify it, does the recorded event lose its… factual weight? It’s a blend of my interest in cybersecurity and the practical use of drones for documentation. I’m genuinely curious how others, especially folks into tech or content creation, think about the relationship between raw data, digital security, and proof. How do you protect and validate your own important digital captures?
