Zvezda Shipyard in Vladivostok, Russia hit by DoS attack

Summary:

In September in 2017, the Zvezda 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. President Putin paid a visit to Bolshoy Kamen on his final day, on September 8, in Vladivostok for the 2017 Eastern Economic Forum to view the newly built Zvezda Shipyard. At 1:30 p.m. local time, the official Kremlin website reported on the visit and the Russian President's speech according to C4ADS. The only vessel anchored at the shipyard reported faked positional information at the Vladivostok International Airport at around 1:24 p.m. local time. This is the first and only time in 2017 that GNSS spoofing has been identified near Bolshoy Kamen. 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.
