In recent weeks, warnings have appeared from both Finland and Estonia. “It is important that ships are prepared for interference,” said Sanna Sonninen from the Finnish Communication and Infrastructure Agency.
Swedish authorities also warn of anomalies in receiving GPS signals. Adam Groll Rasmussen, head of the maritime emergency services, told the newspaper “Aftonbladet”: “The disturbances moved further towards the coast and now have a greater impact on the coast of Sweden.”
Rasmussen is afraid that the ships that rely on GPS may settle agilfully. Rescue operations can also be difficult. “We would have to look [zaginionych jednostek] And we wouldn't know where to save people exactly. “
Anomalies that “threaten life”
Margus Tsahkna, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, has already pointed out the culprit. – Russia knows perfectly well that the disturbances that causes are dangerous for our air movement and violate the international conventions, which Russia joined. This is a deliberate action that threatens people's lives and can be considered an IT attack – he said.
The Danish IT analyst Christian Panton thoroughly examined disturbances. In the report he published, he also indicates Russia as the perpetrator. According to him, this is the so -called spoofing. It involves manipulating signals in such a way that the recipient receives false data. His research shows that the signals come from the Baltic Sea area.
