Thousands of satellite modems are said to have been hacked during the onset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to U.S. intelligence agencies. This information comes after President Biden warned U.S. businesses this past Monday of « evolving intelligence » that Russia is « exploring options » for potential cyberattacks. Outages of tens of thousands of satellite modems in Ukraine and other countries began late last month, as Russia initiated its invasion. A senior Biden administration official at the time of the invasion stated that Russian government hackers had more than likely infiltrated critical computer networks in order to garner intelligence and disrupt key systems in Ukraine. Officials speaking on the condition of anonymity, due to the sensitivity of the situation, said Russia’s military spy service, the GRU, was behind the breach.
