Protecting satellites from hacks is becoming more important as industries from agriculture to banking and insurance rely on space-based capabilities.
OPS-SAT was uniquely easy to hack, Jouannic told Newsweek, because it was designed as a platform to host experiments, called payloads, from multiple users. More than 100 companies and institutions from 17member states registered with the European Space Agency to upload their software payloads to the satellite, which runs the ubiquitous Linux software, just like an Earth-bound IT system.
"We thought for 50 years that satellites were safe [from hacking], that they were so far away no one could ever reach them," Jouannic said."That's no more the case." "We always knew our objective was to do this in space," Colenzo said. But when, back in 2020, organizers asked satellite operators if they could stage a hacking contest on their space assets,"The answer, and there was really no hesitation, the answer was always no."
