The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the FBI acknowledged providers and customers of U.S. satellite networks may be in Russia’s crosshairs as the conflict over Ukraine’s sovereignty continues.
In an alert Thursday, the agencies said they “are aware of possible threats to U.S. and international satellite communication networks. Successful intrusions into SATCOM networks could create risk in SATCOM network providers’ customer environments,” adding, “given the current geopolitical situation, CISA’s Shields Up initiative requests that all organizations significantly lower their threshold for reporting and sharing indications of malicious cyber activity.”
