Satcom hackers

[mjf]

Not too sure how many regulars on here use Inmarsat C.

However i have just read that the system is very easy to hack into and some serious security issues are open. Maybe sensible not use this for banking stuff and any sensitive info.

A connection to any reputable banking site will be encrypted between your browser and the server at the other end anyway, so listening in doesn't help the hacker, as he can only hear cipertext (gibberish).

I'd be more worried about putting anything sensitive in an email.
