[Starlink] White Hat Hackers Expose Iridium Satellite Security Flaws

[Hesham ElBakoury]

"German white hat hackers demonstrated how to intercept text messages sent
via U.S. satellite communication system Iridium and locate users with an
accuracy of about 4 kilometers. During a presentation at the Chaos
Communication Congress in late December, the hackers highlighted the
vulnerabilities, which they said can be exploited using a commercially
available Iridium antenna, a software-defined radio receiver, and a basic
computer such as the Raspberry Pi."
