Is it possible to 'hack' time: the consequences can reach electricity, mobile phones and markets. What is at stake?

SAPO Notícias10 September 2026 at 18:39

The article warns about the possibility of "hacking" time, with potentially serious consequences for essential daily infrastructure.

This dependence creates significant vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious attackers. The article appears to be an introduction to a broader theme about the risks associated with time manipulation through satellite navigation systems.
