The final frontier: Space presents a double opportunity for hackers

Space, the 'final frontier', is rapidly becoming an extra-terrestrial battleground for corporate espionage and other types of cyberattack as hackers seek to gain commercial advantage from rival networks operating in the US$330bil (RM1.39tril) space economy. 

At the same time, a mounting threat from orbiting junk hurtling through space and threatening spaceships and satellites is pushing up the cost of commercial ventures and could be a brake on future investment.
