Abstract: A recent report by the non-profit Center for Advanced Defense Studies (C4ADS) identified almost 10,000 instances of ship's Global Positioning System (GPS) devices being spoofed by Russian interference.  This presentation will look at the development of GPS and GNSS spoofing from a fiction account in film to being an everyday problem.
