SpaceX invites researchers to hack Starlink and find bugs

Space X engineers are always trying to find bugs in its systems to improve the service and make it secure

SpaceX welcomes responsible researchers to hack into its satellite internet network, Starlink. The company also announced a reward of up to $25,000 for discovering certain bugs in their service. The announcement was made after security researcher Lennert Wouters hacked into Starlink using a $25 homemade device. He did so as part of SpaceX's bug bounty program, where researchers were to submit findings of potential vulnerabilities in Starlink's network.

SpaceX congratulated Wouters on his research and said, "We find the hack to be technically sound and impressive and is the first attack of its kind that we are aware of in our system." The company's engineers are always trying to find bugs in its systems to improve the service and make it secure. SpaceX welcomed any security researchers who wanted to help secure Starlink, saying they should continue contributing their findings to the company's bug bounty program or joining the team. SpaceX said in the document, "We allow responsible security researchers to do their testing, and we provide monetary rewards when they find and report vulnerabilities."
