Satellite Data Exposure Reveals Unencrypted Communications Security Risk

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.
