Zvezda Shipyard in Vladivostok, Russia hit by DoS/GPS spoofing attack

Summary:

In 2018, Putin returned to the Zvezda Shipyard. Again, the shipyard's GNSS receivers reported incorrect location information at the Vladivostok International Airport. The Zvezda Shipyard is located 30 kilometres from Vladivostok, near the remote Russian Far East town of Bolshoy Kamen. At the time of the president's afternoon visit to Vladivostok Airport, at least one ship based GNSS receiver positioned at the shipyard provided incorrect positioning information. The fact that the GNSS spoofing discovered near the Zvezda Shipyard was only brief and isolated strongly suggests that the equipment used to cause these disruptions was based on a mobile platform and capable of creating restricted zones of spoofing.
