Wonder how vulnerable all of that stuff is. We know about the ransomware, etc.

Odd we haven’t heard of the attacks on satellites before. Is the general trying to justify the Space Force’s existence?

—
We haven’t because, as he said, the existence of attacks has been classified. Specific attacks and the results still are classified. He saying that attacks are happening and we have a capability to do something about it, but have not to date (unless they have and are classified). Further, nothing more will be revealed unless it goes into open space war.

At the unclassified level, no, he’s not just trying to justify funding.
