VIDEO. Hacking of the KA-SAT satellite by Russia: "We are fighting at sea, in the air and now in space"

"There was little doubt, since the attack on the satellite was triggered right when Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine," explains Mathieu Bailly, cybersecurity specialist.

It's now official.

On Tuesday May 10, the European Union accused Russia of being behind the attack on the KA-SAT satellite which paralyzed part of the communications on the day of the invasion of Ukraine.

"This is the first time that a civilian satellite has been attacked," said the CYSEC analyst.

We had not taken into account that States could attack civilian satellites”.

An event that could open an era of cyber star wars and that could have consequences on our daily lives.

“There are a lot of services on earth that depend on these satellites.

If they stop working overnight, it will be difficult for our society to function.

Now the war is also in space”, assures the specialist.
