I don't know how "huge" this is.  The encoder with the vulnerability is a low-end encoder bought by folks that were too cheap to buy a Sage, and probably don't check their logs anyway.  I believe that the commission revoked the type acceptance to those units years ago, deeming them illegal to use in a FCC licensed station in the first place.

No worries.   This is the same Moscow that thought their "special operation" in Ukraine would be a 2 week cakewalk.

Never fear about both this EAS tech glitch and those pesky Russki missiles, as Space Force will protect us, right Pigmeat?
