… no hacking is required … ?

“no hacking is required to make transmissions”

I may have missed something here, but there is no mention whatsoever of any measures to prevent this sort of thing happening. Now that the incident has been publicised, isn’t it more likely that it will happen again, with potentially disastrous consequences.

Saying that laws are “robust” doesn’t mean that they’re not useless.
