Watch Now: How 1500 Flights Are Hijacked by GPS Spoofing Every Day

Speedify Tech Talk: 1500 flights a day with hijacked GPS

Your GPS doesn’t actually know where you are. GPS navigation knows which signal is loudest, and that’s the opening someone can exploit… even on aircraft. Alex from Speedify explains how GPS works on planes 20,000 kilometers up, why the signal reaching your phone is so faint it sits below the noise floor, and why a delay of a single millisecond is enough to move an airplane’s position by roughly 200 miles. Then the part that makes GPS spoofing possible: civilian GPS has no signature and no encryption, so anyone with a transmitter can broadcast a convincing fake GPS signal, ramp up the power, and move a GPS receiver on a plane or ship somewhere it isn’t.
