Satellite Security Breach: Unencrypted T-Mobile and Military Data Exposed by Researchers
A groundbreaking study exposes how satellite internet services, including T-Mobile’s, broadcast unencrypted calls, texts, and sensitive military communications. Researchers intercepted data with inexpensive equipment, highlighting critical security gaps in geostationary satellite networks.
A shocking security vulnerability in satellite communications has been uncovered, exposing unencrypted calls, texts, and sensitive data from providers like T-Mobile and others. According to a research paper presented at the Annual Computer Security Applications Conference, these transmissions could be intercepted with roughly $800 worth of commercial gear, raising alarms about privacy and security in satellite networks.
