I'm aware of the qualifications and level of knowledge in network security/cryptography that they hire for positions in Redmond at Starlink R They are quite picky about who they hire. Highly doubt that anything that a 3rd party can do from outside of SpaceX's network is going to gain admin

As I'm reading this - I'm reminded that you don't need to destroy a satellite to render it ineffective - just fill up the frequencies it's Tx/Rx on with so much RFI that the pipe no longer bends. It's not as if the frequencies and sat positions aren't public knowledge... - Thomas Scott |
