Ground Segment Compromise

Description

Adversaries may compromise Ground Segment using it as a steppingstone to get Initial Access to the Space Segment and the system in general. If an attacker can get access into a Ground Segment that control the targeted spacecraft, then through it he can potentially compromise the spacecraft itself. Ground segment compromise can either by logical, or physical.
