In 2016 Cybercrime Will Reaches Space

Cybercriminals aim high, the next target could be space. This is the alarm launched by Intel Security, an American company that deals with computer security. The increase in the use of satellites for Internet connections and the lack of security controls in the technology, make the "sky" vulnerable and exposed to cyber attacks. Our telecommunications infrastructure is dependent on satellites in low orbit and this exposes us to wiretapping and invasion of privacy. They have already taken advantage of this weakness that hackers have acted for financial gain and then hid their activities making themselves untraceable.

Internet connections "from heaven" were also tested by Facebook, Google and Samsung for daily communication making proliferate the possibilities of an online security breach. It was found that many attacks are due to the lack of safety measures in the design principles of telecommunication systems; According to the American company, therefore, it is necessary that the aerospace industry take this threat seriously and intervene to make the satellites really impenetrable.
