A First Glimpse of the Starlink User Ternimal | DARKNAVY www.darknavy.org

During device initialization, if the system identifies itself as a user terminal, the initialization script automatically writes 41 SSH public keys into /root/.ssh/authorized_keys. Notably, port 22 on the UTA remains open to the local network at all times. Having such a large number of unknown login keys on a user product certainly raises eyebrows.

I wouldn't feel safe when I would have to use Starlink for Internet access.
