Hijacked satellites and orbiting weapons: Space is new battlefield

Опис:

During Russia’s Victory Day parade, Kremlin-backed hackers hijacked a satellite broadcasting to Ukraine, replacing normal programming with parade footage to intimidate viewers. Experts warn that satellites are critical to communications, navigation, and military operations, making them vulnerable to cyberattacks. U.S. officials revealed Russia is developing a nuclear, space-based weapon capable of destroying satellites in low-Earth orbit, a move that could disrupt global systems and spark a “space-age Cuban Missile Crisis,” the Associated Press has reported.
