In a bold move to disrupt global cybercrime, US authorities have issued seizure warrants for Starlink satellite internet devices allegedly fueling scam operations in Myanmar. These warrants aim to sever the digital lifeline of compounds raking in billions through cryptocurrency fraud targeting Americans. As the Justice Department ramps up its fight against Chinese-organized scams, the action highlights the growing role of satellite tech in enabling resilient criminal networks.

Discover how to bypass traditional power constraints for Starlink Mini using portable power banks—a breakthrough for remote connectivity and disaster resilience. Learn which hardware combinations deliver reliable satellite internet when the grid fails.

Virgin Media O2’s 2026 ‘O2 Satellite’ launch with Starlink is more than a rural coverage story—it’s the first major test of direct-to-device satellite in a mature mobile market. For developers, network engineers, and infra leaders, it signals a new, hybrid connectivity era where the radio layer is no longer confined to terrestrial towers.

SpaceX has issued a critical alert for Starlink users: Satellite dishes running outdated firmware must be activated and updated by November 17, 2025, or they will become permanently inoperable. This affects hardware unused since early 2024, emphasizing the risks of neglected IoT devices in an era of evolving connectivity.

New analysis reveals Starlink's intricate global interconnection strategy, mapping its traffic flow through upstream providers like Arelion and NTT across 100+ locations. By correlating GeoIP data with BGP routing tables, researchers expose how SpaceX's satellite network leverages terrestrial ISPs for worldwide coverage—with implications for performance and resilience.
