The Russians are screwing with the GPS system to send bogus navigation data to thousa

On May 15, 2018, under a sunny sky, Russian President Vladimir Putin drove a bright orange truck in a convoy of construction vehicles for the opening of the Kerch Bridge from Russia to Crimea. At 11 miles long, it is now the longest bridge in either Europe or Russia.

As Putin drove across the bridge, something weird happened. The satellite navigation systems in the control rooms of more than 24 ships anchored nearby suddenly started displaying false information about their location. Their GPS systems told their captains they were anchored more than 65 kilometres away - on land, at the Anapa Airport.

This was not a random glitch, according to the Centre for Advanced Defense, a security think tank. It was a deliberate plan to make it difficult for anyone nearby to track or navigate around the presence of Putin, C4AD says.

"All critical national infrastructures rely on GNSS to some extent" - and the Russians have started hacking it

The Russians have started hacking into the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) on a mass scale in order to confuse thousands of ships and airplanes about where they are, according to a study of false GNSS signals by C4AD.

GNSS comprises the constellation of international satellites that orbit the earth. The US's Global Positioning System (GPS), China's Beidou, Russia's GLONASS, and Europe's Galileo program are all part of GNSS.

Your phone, law enforcement, shipping, airlines, and power stations - anything dependent on GPS time and location synchronization - are all vulnerable to GNSS hacking. "All critical national infrastructures rely on GNSS to some extent, with Communications, Emergency Services, Finance, and Transport identified as particularly intensive users," according to a report commissioned by the UK Space Agency. An attack that disabled GNSS in Britain would cost about £1 billion every day the system was down, the report said.​

The jamming, blocking, or spoofing of GNSS signals by the Russian government is "more indiscriminate and persistent, larger in scope, and more geographically diverse than previous public reporting suggested," according to the Weekly Intelligence Summary from Digital Shadows, a cyber security monitoring service.

It's probably more important to have a Cyber Army at your disposal than a physical one. (I'm not sure America knows it's under attack?)

The President chooses not to worry about cyber security, he’s worries about “the wall”

Meanwhile, China, Iran, Russia, and North Korea are very busy with their advances in the area.
 
I see Bill has now succumbed to Russiaphobia..
The GPS "spoofing" is done to scramble Putin's location -when he opened the Kerch Strait Bridge it was targeting
anything near bye. Afterwards it was not.
 
Its not wise to rely and solely on propaganda, lies and fiction because the truth, reality of it all and non fiction is always there.

Good to see you read the article I POSTED..

GLONASS is also used by Americans........

Out hiking etc many ppl now rely on devices running both the American & Russian systems.........:thinking:
