Hackers Take Control of Government-Owned Satellite in Alarming Experiment

Abstract: 

Government-operated satellites are found to have vulnerabilities. With a growing concern for space cybersecurity, a group of researchers hacked into the European Space Agency as a way to see how much control potential hackers could have of the system. The researchers gained control of the satellites’ communication, imaging, and maneuverability systems. This practice hack is just one in a series of demonstrated hacks that prove the need for more resources into protecting the satellites.
