Satellite Hacking

This article reviews satellite history and security, recounts past breaches and interference (e.g., British Sky compromise and Starlink jamming), describes a disclosed secure-boot exploit using voltage glitching against Starlink terminals, and demonstrates simulated ground-station attacks (spoofing, jamming, and RF attack chaining) in a training VM; it warns of potential high-impact disruptions to communications, navigation, and safety-critical services while noting many systems remain poorly hardened.
