SpaceX chief Elon Musk warned that there is a high chance that its Starlink satellite broadband service could be 'targeted' in Ukraine, which has been hit by Russian invasion.
SAN FRANCISCO - SpaceX chief Elon Musk warned there was a high chance the company's Starlink satellite broadband service could be "targeted" in Ukraine, which has been hit by Russian invasion.

"...if #Putin controls the air above #Ukraine, users' uplink transmissions become beacons ... for airstrikes," John Scott-Railton, a senior researcher at the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab project, tweeted.
