GPS spoofing

GPS spoofing involves broadcasting false GPS signals to deceive a GPS receiver about its actual location. By mimicking legitimate signals, an attacker can make the receiver think it’s somewhere it’s not, potentially affecting navigation, timing, or positioning systems. This can be used maliciously or to prevent tracking. GPS spoofing is possible because GPS signals are weak and can be overridden with stronger fake signals, making it a significant security concern for systems relying on precise location data.
