Signal jammers used in the Middle East to disrupt satellite-guided drones and missiles are causing widespread GPS disruptions. These jammers have thrown planes and ships around Cyprus off course since the start of the war in Gaza. The disruptions, ongoing for months, are now affecting consumer devices and apps, including food delivery services and 'Find My' location tracking systems. Residents of Cyprus have reported their phones being spoofed to Beirut, Lebanon, and transatlantic flights are also being impacted. The electronic warfare measures aimed at military targets are inadvertently affecting civilian life in the Mediterranean region.
The signal jammers Middle Eastern nations are using to thwart drones and missile attacks have an unintended side effect – disrupting GPS systems for phones and other devices in neighboring Cyprus. https://t.co/ZSHw9bYeZV
