GPS spoofing incidents spike 400%: Does it make a plane crash? What should we know

Cybersecurity researchers reported a significant rise in GPS spoofing incidents targeting commercial airliners, particularly near conflict zones. Unauthorized systems broadcast false positions, leading to disruptions, including the manipulation of aircraft clocks. In one instance, a plane’s clocks advanced by years, disabling its communication systems and grounding it for weeks. While not directly causing crashes, these incidents could lead to serious complications.
