Israeli company suspected of tracking Starlink users in over 100 countries
Published
A new report by cybersecurity firm TrendAI, published on October 15, raises suspicion that an Israeli company in the digital advertising (Ad-Tech) sector is tracking users of the Starlink satellite internet service. According to the report, the activity takes place in over 100 countries.
In the report, TrendAI named the suspected entity "Shadow-Earth-79" and did not publicly disclose its full name. The news agency Reuters reported that the suspected company is Discover-Tech, and that the report is based on information from six different sources. However, it has not yet been officially proven that the company carried out the suspected activity.
Starlink is a network of satellites that provides internet access, and it is used by many people in areas where there is no regular internet infrastructure. Users of the service are located in many countries around the world, so suspicion of tracking them is considered a sensitive matter from the standpoint of security and privacy. Therefore, the report affects not only the company itself, but also the many people who use the service.
At present, these are only suspicions, and the details are still not entirely clear. It is advisable to follow updates from official sources and from the media, to learn whether further findings or a response from the company are published.
