The hackers took control of the  Landsat-7 and Terra AM-1 satellites for a grand total of 12 minutes and  two minutes respectively. One might hope that the  communications satellites suspended in orbit above the earth might be  one component of the planet’s technology infrastructure that is safely  out of harm’s way.       But as satellite communications  enthusiast Paul Marsh explained at the London Security B-Sides event in  April, there are reasons to doubt the reports. He spoke about a similar  story, reported in the late 1990s, about hackers supposedly accessing UK  military satellite communications network SkyNet and ‘nudging’ one  satellite out of synch. Whether Chinese hackers have  that capability now is just one more matter of speculation to add to the  opaque field of cyber warfare.[CODE]http://thehackernews.com/2012/05/hackers-took-control-of-two-satellites.html[/CODE]</blockquote>
