According to the daily mail, the cyber attacks last year left nearly 300 million digital records leak, more than us $ 973 million were stolen. Today, the United Kingdom independent policy Research Institute – Chatham House released according to a new report, cyber threats are ascending to new heights – space. Warning in the report, the Government and the enterprises do not have sufficient capacity to protect satellites and other space infrastructure, does not prevent them from being used maliciously. Most of the world's infrastructure is very dependent on space technology, such as air transport, communications and defence systems, and they are often very vulnerable to attack. Chatham House warned in the report, hacker network attacks on satellites or spacecraft may cause a "global catastrophe". These hackers could damage trade and even allow terrorists to take over the weapons.

Satellite network attacks include: interference, cheating, and attacks on communications networks, or to control the target system or an assignment package, and can even attack the ground infrastructure, such as the satellite control center. Space infrastructure network threats including: between countries with military operations, rich resources of criminal organizations seeking to obtain economic benefits, terrorist organizations, and individual hackers want to show off their skills.

Prevention of cyber attacks is one of the biggest challenges in space technology development . Director of international security studies Chatham Patricia Lewis (Patricia Lewis) said: "we will be ' digital age ' influence, young people are in a variety of ways to use space-based communication and network technology, which makes the full understanding and threats become more difficult. ”

But technology is not the only means to prevent hacker attacks. The researchers said: "we cannot fully rely on technology to prevent cyber attacks, also integrating all stakeholders, to respond to cyber threats. For example, currently there is no global organization focused on this problem, and this requires international cooperation. ”

Researchers said the cyber attack prevention is the best way to establish international "voluntary community", this community by national and international space supply chain and key insurance industry organizations. Lewis said some of the work is already in progress, and many advanced space agencies are taking measures for the protection of space infrastructure.

Lewis said: "in fact, similar countries such as China are preparing to try new ways, such as quantum entanglement. Europe's air navigation network Galileo launch new security measures. These show ability and determination to respond to network security challenges. ”

据每日邮报报道，网络袭击去年导致近3亿份数字记录泄漏，超过9.73亿美元资金被窃。如今，英国独立政策研究所——查塔姆研究所发布最新报告称，网络黑客的威胁正提升到新的高度——太空。报告中警告，政府和企业没有保护卫星和其他太空基础设施的足够能力，无法阻止它们被恶意使用。世界上大多数基础设施都十分依赖空间技术，比如航空运输、通信以及国防系统，而它们往往又很容易遭到攻击。查塔姆研究所在报告中警告称，黑客对卫星或航天器的网络袭击可能导致“全球性灾难”。这些黑客袭击可能损害贸易，甚至允许恐怖分子接管武器。

针对卫星的网络攻击包括：干扰、欺骗以及攻击通信网络，或以控制系统或任务包为攻击目标，甚至可以攻击地面基础设施，比如卫星控制中心等。针对太空基础设施的网络威胁包括：国与国之间的军事行动、资源丰富的犯罪组织寻求获得经济利益、恐怖组织宣传以及个人黑客想要炫耀技巧等。

预防太空网络袭击最大的挑战之一就是技术的发展步伐。查塔姆研究所国际安全研究主管帕特里夏·刘易斯（Patricia Lewis）说：“人类也会受到‘数字老化’的影响，年轻人正以多种方式利用基于太空和网络的通讯技术，这令老年人充分理解技术和威胁变得更加困难。”

但是技术并非预防黑客袭击的唯一手段。研究人员称：“我们不能完全依赖技术预防网络袭击，还要将所有相关利益者整合起来，对各种网络威胁作出回应。比如当前还没有全球性组织关注这个问题，而这需要国际合作。”

研究人员表示，预防网络袭击的最好方式就是建立国际性的“自愿社区”，这个社区由国家和国际太空供应链与保险行业的关键组织组成。刘易斯说，有些工作已经在进行，许多太空机构正采取先进措施保护太空基础设施。

刘易斯说：“事实上，类似中国等国家已经准备尝试全新的方式，比如量子纠缠。欧洲的伽利略航空导航网络也推出新的安全措施。这些都显示出应对网络安全挑战的能力和决心。”
