Over-the-Air Attacks: Unseen Threats to Wireless Communication and How C-Suite Leaders Can Mitigate Risks

Over-the-Air (OTA) attacks are a category of cyberattacks that exploit wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC (Near Field Communication), and cellular networks. These attacks can intercept, eavesdrop, or alter data transmitted over these channels, often without the victim’s knowledge.

### **Key Characteristics of OTA Attacks**

1. **Remote Exploitation**: Attackers can operate from a distance, eliminating the need for physical access to the device.
2. **Wide Attack Surface**: The ubiquity of wireless devices in enterprises expands the potential entry points for attackers.
3. **Stealthy Execution**: Many OTA attacks are designed to be undetectable, operating silently in the background.

GPS Spoofing: A Silent Threat to High Net-Worth Individuals and Critical Infrastructure

In GPS spoofing, attackers generate counterfeit signals that mimic legitimate GPS signals, effectively deceiving the GPS receiver into providing incorrect location data. Spoofing attacks can alter a target’s perceived location, misdirecting navigational routes, obscuring asset tracking, or causing outright disruptions. Such attacks compromise the receiver’s accuracy and can lead to substantial navigation errors, disruptions in critical infrastructure, and even physical harm.
