Cybersecurity researchers are set to unveil separate reports Aug. 7 that they say show vulnerabilities in satellite communications gear used in government and critical infrastructure networks, as well as a fundamental flaw in the USB technology that almost all computers use.
One of the two papers, which will be presented at the annual Black Hat conference in Las Vegas, shows vulnerabilities in aircraft Wi-Fi networks and satellite communications systems can be used not only to take over commercial aircrafts’ avionics, but also to make government, military and critical water treatment, electrical grid and oil pipeline satellite communications systems vulnerable to infiltration.
