===== Satellites Are Leaking Your Calls, Texts, & Browsing Habits =====

This video explores a recent research project that uncovered serious privacy vulnerabilities in satellite communications.

==== Overview ====
Up to *50% of satellite network traffic is unencrypted*, meaning it can be intercepted and read by anyone with the right tools. This includes sensitive data like phone calls, text messages, and internet activity.

==== Key Findings ====
  * Many satellite internet providers do not encrypt traffic by default.
  * Researchers used inexpensive equipment (under $300) to capture live satellite data.
  * They were able to access:
    - Personal messages
    - GPS coordinates
    - Web browsing sessions
    - Corporate data transfers

==== Technical Details ====
  * The team used a satellite dish, SDR (Software Defined Radio), and open-source decoding tools.
  * No hacking was involved — the data was simply broadcast in the clear.
  * The vulnerability affects geostationary satellites used for maritime, aviation, and remote internet access.

==== Implications ====
  * Anyone with basic technical knowledge can eavesdrop on satellite traffic.
  * This poses risks for journalists, remote workers, and companies using satellite links.
  * Encryption should be mandatory for all satellite communications.
