Since the earth's magnetic field is so weak and field strength goes down rapidly as distance increases, malicious actors probably couldn't spoof patterns well enough to make the data look real, at least not without coming very close and staying near their target. permalink fedilink source parent [–] StealthLizardDrop@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago Just sell initially fake map permalink fedilink source parent [–] zlatko@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago You don't need to hack the quantum sensor.
