GPS Spoof Nudges Ocean-Faring Yacht Off Course
2013-08-01 23:33:30| TechNewsWorld
A team of researchers used a custom-built GPS device to send counterfeit signals to a 213-foot yacht, forcing the US$80 million vessel off its course without triggering any alarms. The spoofed yacht was part of the experiment, so no harm was inflicted on the vehicle or its passengers. However, the test highlights the need for a broader understanding of navigational attacks, researchers said.
