Ransomware exploits value. Attackers put victims against a decision to pay for the hope of the return of their system or lose it. For victims, it is hard to justify not paying even though it sets a harmful precedent. At heart, this is an economics question that cyber professionals find it difficult to answer on Earth. In space, the steep initial investments, slow times to market and operational costs of satellites and in-orbit infrastructure make the payment of a future ransomware attack against a satellite nearly assured.

When a linear act leads to non-linear results, it’s chaos. That’s not a figure of speech. Non-linear behaviors that result from an otherwise linear and deterministic system underpin chaos theory, a fascinating branch of mathematics and life sciences that results in amazing insights into our world. It shows how tiny actions in an otherwise linear system can cause dramatic effects and even outcomes that we cannot otherwise predict.
