Russia 'intercepts Europe's key satellites' (news.satnews.com)

The real headline here is “Anyone can control Europe’s key satellites because they didn’t bother to put encryption on billions of dollars worth of critical infrastructure”

Russia is a terrorist state. Nothing more, nothing less.

That's clever. Normally you can't intercept satellite uplinks because they're pointed at the satellite. But if you have your own, highly manoeuvrable satellite...

“Sensitive” satellites have unencrypted command channels?!?!

Even with narrow transmission angle that seems like a bold strategy

Encoding sensitive message is a thing since dark ages
