When hackers control the clock. [T-Minus: Space-Cyber Briefing]

The accurate timing data from spacecraft has become an invaluable tool for nearly every critical infrastructure sector and a greater target for malicious actors.

Host Maria Varmazis and ⁠Andy Davis⁠, Global Research Director at the NCC Group, discuss the importance of timing in space. The two look at how timing systems have continued to grow more important in everyday life and why attackers have begun to increasingly exploit these critical services.

GPS: A backbone for critical infrastructure.

Spoofing ships, jamming drones: how GPS manipulation confuses and compromises.
