A security researcher told CNN that anyone using a Starlink dish in Ukraine “needs to consider it as a potential giant target.” “If an adversary has a specialized plane aloft, it can detect [a satellite] signal and home in on it,” said Nicholas Weaver of the University of California at Berkeley to the network.
