The satellite internet service of Starlink-based SpaceX is capable of being hacked by injection attacks on the User's terminal. This hacking work system is carried out by security researchers who use homemade circuit boards.
As a result of this cyber attack, users of the KA-SAT satellite-based internet service cannot access the internet. Users are also asked not to update their modem software that is connected to the Viasat network. Because it is suspected that it can damage the modem.
Starlink installed a line of code and fixed it and suddenly it's not working anymore. How they do that is interesting to me," Tremper said during a virtual conference as quoted by Cnet.
Tremper called Starlink an interesting case study and said the military could learn from how the team quickly tackled the problem.
Last Thursday, SpaceX sent its newest Starlink satellite into orbit on a Falcon 9 rocket. The mission launched 47 new Starlink satellites into orbit from Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. To date, SpaceX has launched more than 2,000 satellites into orbit, with an initial megaconstellation of 12,000 plans to provide global broadband coverage.
Starlink is now available in 32 countries worldwide," SpaceX wrote in a Twitter post. "Users who have ordered Starlink originating from the 'available' area will get their Starlink internet access as soon as possible," he continued.
SpaceX did not mention in detail which areas have received Starlink internet. The public can view it through the Starlink deployment map on the starlink.com/map website
