US Air Force Invite Hackers to Hack Their Satellite Above Orbit

Here is very interesting news coming from the Air Force of the United States, which allowed hackers to hack their one of the satellites above the orbit to look and find bugs. Hackers will be rewarded by them if they report any vulnerabilities.

US Air Force also invited hackers last year to get into an Air Force of the United States during the Def Con Security Conference, that was the first time hackers were invited by the Air Force. Shockingly enough, in only two days, a group of seven hackers found plenty of vulnerabilities. Whenever utilized in an inappropriate submits a certifiable application, this would be a threat for everybody included, causing untold calamitous harm.
That is the only reason for which hackers invited by the United States Air Force to check how whether there is any loophole.

Will Roper, assistant secretary of the Air Force for acquisition, technology, and logistics, had this to say: “I left that event thinking there is a huge national asset in this level of cyber expertise that we are lacking in full in our Air Force.”

Roper is accountable for all the satellites that the Air Force assembles falls under his lap. Verifiably, the Air Force held security of its frameworks and innovation in supreme mystery, dreading reconnaissance just as damage from any danger. Roper didn’t consent to this and said it wanted to be “stuck in Cold War strategic policies.”

Roper says, “But in today’s world that’s not the best security posture. Just because you’re not telling the world about your vulnerabilities doesn’t mean you’re secure to go to war,”

And Roper again applying the same strategy to check bugs and but its slightly different, this time for their satellite in the current year’s Def Con in Sunny Las Vegas, and this time it is to hack a working satellite as of now in orbit, floating miles above Earth. Space Tech mostly comes under the government but in this era, many of the private companies come forward to make it more secure and launching their own satellite in the orbit. 
Space was once just for the fearless and the all-around financed. For quite a long time, just a bunch of governments had the assets to shoot a satellite into space. Be that as it may, as private organizations fire huge amounts of their own innovation into space, space is more packed than any other time in recent memory. Presently, space isn’t only a level playing field for the private undertaking, it’s additionally a potential future battleground for foes.

Roper says, “We don’t know the ghosts that are in our systems that come from the supply chain and the companies that assemble those, and the fighters and satellites don’t either because they don’t know to ask for them,”

The purpose behind utilizing programmers isn’t simply to discover existing bugs that can be misused yet to at last dispense with the inventory network to forestall potential bugs or dangers.
