"How Hackers Could Spy on Satellite Internet Traffic With Just $300 of Home TV Equipment"

A researcher at Oxford University demonstrated the potential exploitation of vulnerabilities in satellite broadband communications to intercept unencrypted web traffic through the use of an inexpensive satellite dish and a digital broadcasting satellite tuner. Attackers could abuse the vulnerabilities to spy on sensitive communications covertly from an extremely far distance. The researcher was able to intercept real traffic from ships, law firms, and Internet of Things (IoT) providers from a fixed point in the UK. This article continues to discuss the technique demonstrated to gain access to sensitive information via traffic transmitted by satellites.
