Spoofing ships, jamming drones: how GPS manipulation confuses and compromises. [T-Minus: Space-Cyber Briefing]
Brief
GPS constellations have become foundational in modern society supporting everything from navigation to financial services, making the impacts of GPS disruptions all the more concerning.
As reliance on these systems have grown, so too have efforts by threat actors to disrupt them through techniques such as jamming and spoofing. As these attacks have become more effective, they are becoming increasingly common, especially in conflict zones where disruption and confusion can prove exceedingly valuable.
