A cyberattack targeting a satellite network used by Ukraine’s government and military agencies shortly after Russia’s invasion also knocked offline tens of thousands of broadband internet users across Europe, the satellite owner disclosed Wednesday.
The attack though highlighted how satellite technology that serves both military and non-military clients can be targeted in a conflict, with the impact felt by individuals and businesses far from the battlefield.
It said it has shipped 30,000 replacement modems to affected customers across Europe, most of whom use the service for residential broadband internet access. Viasat, based in Carlsbad, California, said the initial denial of service attack had emanated from modems inside Ukraine. It did not specify how the destructive malware entered the network other than to say “misconfiguration” in a virtual private network appliance was compromised, allowing the attackers to gain remote access.
