A three-year study reveals approximately 50% of geostationary satellites broadcast sensitive consumer, corporate, and military communications without encryption. Researchers used inexpensive equipment to intercept phone calls, text messages, and critical infrastructure data. The findings highlight significant security vulnerabilities in satellite communications systems.

Satellite security researchers have uncovered a massive data exposure vulnerability affecting approximately half of all geostationary satellites orbiting Earth. According to their findings, these satellites are transmitting unencrypted sensitive information including private phone calls, text messages, military communications, and critical infrastructure data that could be intercepted by anyone with basic receiving equipment.
