The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 received Royal Assent on 19 June 2025 and updates UK GDPR with predefined “recognised legitimate interests”, higher PECR fines up to £17.5M or 4% of global turnover, and new Smart Data portability and digital identity frameworks. The European Commission extended the UK’s EU adequacy decision by six months to 27 December 2025 to reassess data protection adequacy. EU policy in May 2025 proposed GDPR simplification for SMEs, exempting organizations with fewer than 750 employees from processing records unless high-risk processing occurs.

Inside the Sky Shield: How Secure Is Your Satellite Internet?

Satellite internet data travels from your dish to a satellite, then to a gateway and onto the internet, with traditional GEO orbits at about 35,786 km and newer systems like SpaceX Starlink using low Earth orbit swarms and inter-satellite laser links. Geostationary (GEO) latency is roughly 500–700 ms for a round trip, while Starlink’s low Earth orbit (LEO) latency is about 20–40 ms, impacting secure handshakes such as TLS. Signals require line-of-sight, and because satellite beams cover broad areas, adversaries can jam or disrupt links from within the footprint with a powerful transmitter. Unencrypted satellite downlinks can be intercepted since
