Lessons from the Viasat cybersecurity attack. [T-Minus]

Please enjoy this encore of T-Minus Space Daily. A few hours prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Russia’s military intelligence launched a cyberattack against ViaSat’s KA-SAT satellite network, which was used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It prevented them from using satellite communications to respond to the invasion. After the ViaSat hack, numerous cyber operations were conducted against the space sector from both sides of the conflict. What have we learnt from the Viasat attack? Clémence Poirier has written a report on the Viasat cybersecurity attack during the war in Ukraine. Hacking the Cosmos: Cyber operations against the space sector.
