Wait, they really control their multimillion euro satellite and download data from it through an unencrypted channel?
This title is incorrect. The article says Russia intercepted *communications* from satellites.
>European security officials believe two Russian space vehicles have intercepted the communications of at least a dozen key satellites over the continent.
“sensitive, unencrypted information”
Sounds like they were so concerned about its sensitivity that they decided encryption wasn’t necessary.
This has been happening for years and they knew about. Â Only reason this is in the news is because they want political capital to justify funding replacement communication satellitesÂ
