Researchers at Cornell University successfully spoofed the signal of a global positioning system (GPS) receiver, sending it a false signal that it accepted as an authentic one. The research aimed to demonstrate that a navigation device can be fooled, with the next intent to devize strategies to combat false signals.

This research raises troubling questions regarding our reliance on these signals, and points to a need for more hybrid approaches for both satellite and ground-based signals. You can read the details of this research on the Cornell website here.
