Satellites are spotted with vulnerabilities and design flaws and hackers are taking note, researchers report at the RSA Conference. As more satellites go up, and antenna equipment becomes cheaper, they are becoming a lucrative target for threat actors back on earth, they say. Researchers say there have been several malicious attacks over the past decades that disrupted or destroyed the machines. There s no standard security architecture across various satellites most satellites have their own architectures, making it still very much an industrial control system heritage, he said.
