GPS spoofing teleported me to Peru, mid-flight
blog.emilburzo.comSpeaking as someone living in Kyiv, I experience this first hand, on my phone, when a raid is on.
Interesting, so the spoofing is only active during attacks? That explains the short duration.
I am wondering what changed though, since this hasn't happened before in the previous 4 years. More spoofing installations maybe? Higher radio transmitter power?
I'm also very curious, do you have any technical mitigations for this to be able to use your GPS devices? Or is it now just a fact of life?
Sorry for what you are going through.

As far as I know, only during.

No clue about changes. All I can say is I never saw it when I was here last, mid-2022 for about nine months.

Technical mitigations? read the road signs and figure out where you are :-)
I did read about someone having trouble with scooter apps, where the app was very confused to find the scooter now in Lima.

Thank you.

The GPS jamming is probably to confuse the missiles or drones, not the people!
