Earth’s Magnetic Field Weakness Expands: Swarm Satellite Data Reveals South Atlantic Anomaly Growth

New research from ESA’s Swarm satellite constellation shows the South Atlantic Anomaly in Earth’s magnetic field has grown by nearly half the size of continental Europe since 2014. This expanding weak spot exposes satellites to higher radiation levels and reveals complex changes occurring deep within our planet’s core.

For over a decade, the European Space Agency’s Swarm satellite constellation has been meticulously mapping Earth’s magnetic field, providing unprecedented insights into our planet’s protective shield. The latest analysis reveals concerning developments in what scientists call the South Atlantic Anomaly – a growing weak spot in the magnetic field that has expanded significantly since 2014, covering an area nearly half the size of continental Europe. This discovery comes from 11 years of continuous magnetic field measurements, marking the longest such record ever obtained from space.

** T-Mobile Customer Data Intercepted in Satellite Security Breach

** University researchers captured T-Mobile customer communications using an $800 satellite receiver, revealing widespread unencrypted data transmission. The study exposed sensitive military, law enforcement, and infrastructure communications. Multiple companies have since implemented encryption fixes. **CONTENT:**

In a startling security revelation, researchers have successfully intercepted T-Mobile customer call and text data from completely unencrypted satellite communications using basic equipment. The joint study from UC San Diego and University of Maryland exposed critical vulnerabilities in satellite backhaul systems that transmit cellular data in remote areas, capturing not only consumer communications but also sensitive government and infrastructure data.
