There has been some accidents also for a satellite internet, but also satellite TV jamming and spoofing. So, satellite TV is something relatively dumb. So, it's usually it's called a bent pipe. So, you send up a signal and this is distributed down. So, if you send up another signal, it will be distributed down. Especially in older uh satellites like from from Astra the Astra satellites, for example, the older ones are just working with that principle. You just need to know the frequency, how it's modulated, you send it up and it will be distributed. And there have been active attacks where I think it was in in the Netherlands, where they they overrode some some child TV with some

propaganda channels. It was It was pretty wild.
