I wish to bring up the issue of mutual respect on HN. The thing that does not help here is a paywall that I see no easy way of bypassing it.

But nevertheless:

> Both firms emphasize that their capability rests on fusing together massive collections of data of different types and scales rather than exploiting any vulnerability in Starlink.

So this is a data collection agency that tracks starlink receivers on statistical data. I could imagine they can estimate starlink terminals and see who is using starlink to connect to the internet, but not to pinpoint the location of a terminal.

Just as anyone else can figure out my ISP if they wish to do that.

I've checked the article. It's written by a credible creator who has not been caught in a lot of BS. At the same time the article is quite wordy and states that the software does not track the terminals. It can't.

I can bet the math on this project is beautiful.

I've quoted a bunch of the article in a separate top level comment if that helps. Haaretz seems to sometimes paywall and sometimes not.
