WiFi security with Fuji Remote

[Lonerangefinder]

How secure is your WIFi network when downloading photos from a Fuji Camera to an iPad using Fuji Remote App?

 

Thanks

what exactly is your concern? 

 

wi-fi is not in itself secure on the contrary it is very easily cracked but what is that you are afraid to be hacked into?

 

Recently a Dutch experiment revealed that a wi-fi controlled camera was hacked in minutes after installing. There will be ways to defend yourself against this but:

 

1) you will be doing this only sporadically 

 

2) your wi-fi range requires someone to be rather close and to want to hack your camera, what is the likelihood of this to happen if you move around?

The story on 12th August 2019 is that cameras can be infected with ransomware by remotely tricking the camera into installing a malicious firmware update. A test was conducted on a Canon EOS 80D. Access via WiFi or Bluetooth. Give us the money and we'll let the pictures go. You get to view the threat via the EVF or Screen.

So, is it possible to turn off the WiFi or Bluetooth on an X-T2?
