Hackers hacked the two satellites for some minutes

According to a US report recently claimed that hackers had managed to 
interfere with two military satellites, but one expert argues the amount
 of energy required would be too great for ordinary hackers.
The hackers took control of the Landsat-7 and Terra AM-1 satellites for a
 grand total of 12 minutes and two minutes respectively.
One might hope that the communications satellites suspended in orbit 
above the earth might be one component of the planet’s technology 
infrastructure that is safely out of harm’s way.
But as satellite communications enthusiast Paul Marsh explained at the 
London Security B-Sides event in April, there are reasons to doubt the 
reports. He spoke about a similar story, reported in the late 1990s, 
about hackers supposedly accessing UK military satellite communications 
network SkyNet and ‘nudging’ one satellite out of synch.
