Musk’s rocket maker announced this just following a crucial statement from Lennert Wouters, a security researcher. A couple of days ago, he clarified that he could hack into the internet service through the use of a homemade equipment just worth $25.

He stated how he carried out this test as an extension of the bug bounty programme introduced by Musk’s SpaceX. In this, researchers handover their discoveries of possible bugs in the service of Starlink. The company applauded the researcher for his findings in a document titled ‘Starlink welcomes security researchers (bring on the bugs),’ which was about six pages long.

Further, it stated how users of the service should not concern themselves with the attack from Wouters, and that it would not have any direct impact on their satellites.

Moreover, it embraced any incoming researcher who aimed to contribute to enhancing security on Starlink. SpaceX stated how these researchers could even join the team or submit their discoveries the bug bounty programme of SpaceX.

Further, the company added how it would enable dependable researchers from the field to conduct their own tests, and would reward them for their contribution of vulnerability reports to the programme. According to the ‘bug bounty’ page, the rewards ranging from $100 to $25,000 could be given to anyone who carry out the entire process of testing and finding bugs on Starlink.

Moreover, SpaceX specified that the aggregate reward in the past three months has been $973. The company expects researchers to detect bugs within scope i.e., not ones interferes the network for users, any physical attack on extensive structures, along with email spoofing.
