The findings suggest possible surveillance interest in countries where Starlink is banned or restricted.

      I’m not arguing against your username, but this article is about an Israeli malware campaign using ad bids to specifically target itself towards Starlink users. There’s nothing about Starlink itself being complicit.

      I’d think if Starlink wanted to surveil their users (they probably do) they could find a more direct route than this (they probably have).

      For one mistake? Seems like that would be appropriate if he had a track record of bad behavior perhaps.

    All ad networks are malware distribution networks.

    Adblock is the new antivirus.

          Discover-Tech, an Israeli advertising firm previously linked to the delivery of zero-click spyware, is the top bidder for Starlink ad impressions in 105 countries, according to a new report from Reuters.

          Who could have seen this plot twist coming. Absolutely blindsided, that’s me.
