New York March 4 2022: Elon Musk has warned there’s a high chance the company’s Starlink satellite broadband service could be targeted in Ukraine.
The internet is reportedly down in some areas of the country.
Musk said that users should “place light camouflage over antenna to avoid visual detection”.

He also said that users should “turn on Starlink only when needed and place antenna as far away from people as possible”.
The warning came days after an internet security researcher cautioned that devices receiving satellite signals could become “beacons” for Russian airstrikes.
Starlink terminals, needed for the system to work, were delivered to Ukraine on 28 February – after a request was made by the Ukrainian government.
