While we await Europe and UK to get underway, here is something that is not forex but might be an interesting read
(I've bolded the bit that says to treat this with caution, K?)
- On 22 June, the US Maritime Administration filed a seemingly bland incident report. The master of a ship off the Russian port of Novorossiysk had discovered his GPS put him in the wrong spot - more than 32 kilometres inland, at Gelendzhik Airport.
- After checking the navigation equipment was working properly, the captain contacted other nearby ships. Their AIS traces - signals from the automatic identification system used to track vessels - placed them all at the same airport. At least 20 ships were affected.
- While the incident is not yet confirmed, experts think this is the first documented use of GPS misdirection - a spoofing attack that has long been warned of but never been seen in the wild.
