It's literally the only independent end-to-end network on the planet. Elon Musk has full ownership and control of the satellites, base stations, manufactures the dishes, and everything in between.
It doesn't rely on anyone else's infrastructure. There is no Chinese manufacturer who can embed spyware in the hardware. There is no cable that can be tapped. There is no middleman who can intercept communications. There is no plug that can be pulled.
It's a lot harder to conduct a cyber attack when you don't have physical access to any part of the system, and I doubt Elon hired some fools who know nothing about security to design the network.
Without inside information and physical access, it could easily take some of the most skilled hackers years to find a security hole and come up with a way to exploit it to gain any kind of useful access to penetrate the network.
This is true, yeah. The future is more and more decentralization, which is why the Old Gaurd of the centralized order are flailing so hard to keep their grip on everything.
Spoof a ground station. Spoof a satellite. Aim a dish at the satellite and sniff the earth-bound data. If you have government resources: national security memo or FISA court.
I fail to see how starlink could be immune to being compromised.

Oh you mean traditionally compromised. I suppose not no but I was referring to cyber attacks. Nothing is bulletproof.
