Satellite Apocalypse: AI Cyberattacks Threaten Global Shutdown in 24 Months

• Experts warn of a 'Satellite Apocalypse' within 2 years due to AI-based cyberattacks targeting outdated satellite systems.
• Agentic AI allows hackers to identify vulnerabilities and devise attack strategies without human intervention, posing a new threat to cybersecurity.
• A cyberattack could lead to satellites colliding, triggering 'Kessler Syndrome' and rendering parts of Earth's orbit unusable.
• Most current satellites lack modern encryption and secure authentication, making them vulnerable to rapid AI exploitation.
• International cooperation and AI-based defense systems are crucial to prevent this crisis, with the next 2 years being critical for space security.
