🛰️ 📡 You Only Need $750 of #Equipment to #Pilfer_Data From #Satellites, Researchers Say, “They just really didn't think anyone would #look up.” #Signals they analyzed were transmitting #UNENCRYPTED_ DATA, potentially #exposing everything from #phone_calls and #military_logistics to a #retail_chain’s #inventory.
🛰️ 📡 A new study published on Monday found that communications from cellphone carriers, retailers, banks, and even militaries are being #broadcast #unencrypted through #geostationary_satellites.
🛰️ 📡 Researchers from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and the University of Maryland scanned 39 of these satellites from a rooftop in Southern California over three years. They found that roughly #half of the #signals they analyzed were #transmitting #UNENCRYPTED_ DATA, potentially #exposing everything from phone calls and military logistics to a retail chain’s inventory.
🛰️ 📡 For instance, remote towers in desert regions of the U.S. connect to a satellite, which then relays signals to the carrier’s #core network. This extra internal step is known as #backhaul_traffic and was found #unencrypted in some cases by the team.
🛰️ 📡 “There is a #clear_mismatch between how #satellite_customers expect data to be #secured and how it is secured in practice,” the researchers wrote in their paper titled “Don’t Look Up: There Are Sensitive Internal Links in the Clear on GEO Satellites.” The findings are also being presented this week at an Association for Computing Machinery conference in #Taiwan. The paper’s title is a clear reference to the 2021 Netflix movie, used in this case as a metaphor for the satellites’ #lack_of_security.
🛰️ 📡 “ #THEY_assumed that no one was ever going to #check and #scan all these satellites and see what was out there. That was their method of security,” Aaron Schulman, a #UCSD professor and co-lead of the study, told Wired. “They just really didn’t think anyone would look up.”
🛰️ 📡 Even more surprisingly, the researchers didn’t need any fancy spy gear to collect this data. Their setup used only off-the-shelf hardware, including a $185 satellite dish, a $140 roof mount with a $195 motor, and a $230 tuner card. Altogether, the system cost roughly $750 and was installed on a university building in La Jolla, San Diego.
What the researchers found IS #SHOCKING!???...
