GPS signal spoofing

An interesting article about spoofing GPS satellite signals.

Well, the GPS signal is not signed in any way, so there is no way to know whether it comes from the proper sender. If a stronger signal appears nearby, the receiver will start treating signals from it as if they came from the real source… and a large yacht becomes a remote-controlled toy for a few students.
