China’s Mysterious Spoofed GPS “Crop Circle” Has Something Interesting At Its Center
Something quite large appears to be physically at the center of these anomalies, which include spoofing ship transponder locations, jamming GPS, and showing highly inaccurate, but tightly correlated coordinates to certain GPS users in the area.
New Type Of GPS Spoofing Attack In China Creates “Crop Circles” Of False Location Data
A new type of GPS spoofing technology, which may belong to the Chinese government, appears to have been impacting shipping in and around China’s Port of Shanghai for more than a year. Unlike previous examples of spoofing attacks, which have typically caused GPS receivers in a certain area to show their locations as being at a limited number of fixed false positions, the incidents in Shanghai caused the transponders on multiple ships at once to show various erroneous positions that formed odd ring-like patterns that some experts have dubbed “crop circles.”
Ukrainian Officer Details Russian Electronic Warfare Tactics Including Radio “Virus”
A Ukranian military officer has offered new insights into the scale and scope of Russian electronic and cyber warfare capabilities, including details on GPS jamming and spoofing tactics, and how they have evolved since a conflict erupted between the two countries more than five years ago. He also said that Russia’s capacity to launch some types of attacks may be waning to a degree thanks to American and other international sanctions that have made it difficult for the Kremlin to source key components for these systems.
