The Hidden Vulnerabilities of Satellites: Insights from a Space Cybersecurity Expert

The Illusion of Security in Space

In recent discussions about space technology, one common misconception is that satellites are inherently secure due to their complexity and remote operation. However, James Pavur, a PhD student at Oxford University researching satellite cybersecurity, challenges this notion by emphasizing that security through obscurity is a flawed approach. In the hacker world, reliance on secrecy alone doesn’t hold up—someone with enough motivation and knowledge will eventually uncover vulnerabilities.
