Russia's Victory Day parade was used as a psychological weapon when hackers hijacked a satellite, replacing normal broadcasts in Ukraine with footage of military displays. The incident illustrates the importance of cybersecurity in satellite operations. Disabling a satellite can disrupt communications significantly, creating chaos in navigation and intelligence. Over 12,000 satellites play crucial roles in various sectors, making them attractive targets for adversaries aiming to weaken military or economic stability. Outdated software is often the weak point hackers exploit in the satellite systems.
Disabling a satellite could deal a devastating blow without one bullet, and it can be done by targeting the satellite's security software or disrupting its ability to send or receive signals from Earth.
More than 12,000 operating satellites now orbit the planet, playing a critical role not just in broadcast communications but also in military operations, navigation systems like GPS, intelligence gathering and economic supply chains.
