US Navy

The US Navy experienced potential vulnerabilities due to the integration of high-speed internet via SpaceX’s Starlink network on warships. The system, SEA2, aimed to improve morale and connectivity, enabling sailors to maintain contact with family and access data at sea. However, unauthorized disclosure of the press release about the installation of Starlink on USS Abraham Lincoln highlighted operational security issues, as the ship was heading to a tense Middle East region. The severity of the breach could be considered high due to possible exploitation by adversaries, leading to significant implications for national security.
