Spoofing GPS Location
A group of students from the University of Texas designed and successfully tested a GPS spoofing device capable of generating fake GPS signals.
During testing, the students managed to “hijack,” meaning alter the course of, a 65 meter yacht called “White Rose,” valued at 80 million dollars, in the Mediterranean Sea by placing the equipment onboard the vessel.
We showed why it's dangerous and how they do it.

I'd like to give a quick thank you to @amazon for restoring my over 20 year old account after someone in China had gained access to it and violated the TOS. I have a lot of purchases in the form of TV Shows, movies, and I use my @audible_com account daily and have for a number of years now. Losing all of that would have been a considerable financial loss. Make sure you have a strong password and enable MFA, going through something like this is a greater inconvenience that the additional time to log in using them.
Intercepting Unencrypted Satellite Communications
Passive GEO interception station is no longer something limited to intelligence agencies. It is now accessible to technically curious RF people with moderate budgets.
Because this has been known for decades, you'd naturally expect strong encryption to be the norm.
Yet for many non-broadcast data channels, especially internal IP backhaul links, encryption has historically been neglected.
We showed how widespread that neglect really is

16-years-old kid created Starlink prototype and made $300,000
It capture the signal from satellite, and works anywhere
SpaceX tried to shut him down, but the kid was already covered.
Here's how he made it using nothing except Claude:
He's not stealing internet from Starlink.
He's using the radio beacons SpaceX broadcasts as a free positioning system that works when GPS doesn't.
Every Starlink satellite emits a constant beacon.
With a small dish and a $35 radio, you can pick them up and triangulate your location anywhere on Earth, even where GPS is jammed or blocked.
The US Army is testing the same concept.
The kid built a portable version and sold it to hikers, sailors, and emergency crews.
Step 1.
Order the hardware.
RTL-SDR Blog v4 USB receiver ($35)
Small Ku-band parabolic dish (~$50)
Ku-band LNB downconverter ($20)
Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB)
Bias-tee adapter
5000 mAh USB battery
Total around $180.
Step 2.
Flash Raspberry Pi OS Lite to the SD card and boot the Pi.
Step 3.
Install the SDR tools in Terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install rtl-sdr gnuradio python3-numpy
Step 4.
Mount the LNB at the dish focal point.
Connect LNB to bias-tee, bias-tee to SDR, SDR to Pi via USB.
Step 5.
Open Claude Code and paste this prompt:
Write me a Python program that captures Starlink satellite beacons through an RTL-SDR and uses them for positioning.
Hardware: RTL-SDR Blog v4 + Ku-band LNB + parabolic dish.
Requirements:
Scan Ku-band downlink frequencies for Starlink beacons.
Identify each satellite using public TLE data from https://t.co/eZL1xnRATd.
Use Doppler shift from at least 3 satellites to compute position.
Output latitude, longitude, and accuracy to a small OLED screen.
Use pyrtlsdr, skyfield, numpy.
Add comments so I can tune the math.
Step 6.
Run the program.
The Pi locks onto satellites overhead and shows your coordinates with around 10-30 meter accuracy.
No GPS, no cell signal, no internet needed.
The kid 3D-printed a case, branded it as "GPS backup for hikers and sailors," and sold 350 units at $899 each.
Cost per unit: $180.
Profit per unit: $719.
His customers are wildfire crews, bush pilots, backcountry skiers, and yacht owners.
SpaceX has no legal issue with passive reception of public beacons.
The kid's lawyer confirmed it in advance.
🇺🇸 🇨🇺 🇨🇳 Follow the narrative warfare that China and Cuba are waging through alleged proxies in the U.S.
Ask yourself what investigators are probing: should Cuba’s apparent proxies have to register in the U.S. as foreign agents for Cuba?
Is this malign foreign influence?
🇺🇸 Thursday, 5:39 PM: Secretary of State @SecRubio issues a sanctions announcement against a Cuban organization, ICAP, that U.S. intelligence experts have identified as an agent of malign foreign influence in intelligence operations against the U.S. since its founding in 1960 by Fidel Castro himself, a year after his 1959 communist revolution of Cuba.
Last night: I jammed and wrote a story that we published last night at @FoxNews Digital explaining why Rubio’s sanction is seismic: a network of U.S. nonprofits have peddled Cuba’s pro-communist propaganda for decades, working with ICAP, and they include the network, including People’s Forum and a CodePink, funded by American Marxist Neville Roy Singham, living in China, plus a group, Progressive International, that organized Hasan Piker’s trip to Cuba in March.
On cue…3 data points…
Friday, June 5, 2026
10:50 AM: @PeoplesForumNYC denounces the sanction, calling ICAP “an important bridge to global solidarity movements, and other public institutions.” Remembers: People’s Forum is funded by pro-China, pro-CCP Singham and organized the Piker convoy to Cuba.
12:55 PM: @CodePink’s co-founder @MedeaBenjamin publishes a video defense of ICAP and the Communist Party of Cuba: “Are there any executions in Cuba? None!” Remember: CodePink is also funded by pro-China, pro-CCP Singham and also organized the Piker convoy to Cuba.
1:12 PM: Online media platform @BTnewsroom publishes an “exclusive” interview with Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel @DiazCanelB who denounces “the efforts that the US has taken to undermine Cuba's sovereignty.” Meanwhile, BTNewsroom publishes more stories on America’s failures, from issues of race to immigration.
Remember: BreakThrough News is also funded by pro-China, pro-CCP Singham and did wall-to-wall pro-Cuba propaganda for the Piker convoy to Cuba.
Those are just three examples. At Fox News Digital, I have identified scores of organizations that are now activated to defend Cuba and communism.
As you process the narrative warfare, follow the money and know what is ideologically motivating these organizations: ❤️communism.
