The system of conditional access Conax returns to be vulnerable to the attacks of hackers at the moment affecting to the platform Digital channel Nordic, with reception in the Scandinavian countries

Digital channel Nordic is the great one harmed, at the moment, by the illicit and illegal practices that have allowed “abrir” the signal of the different channels from this platform, that it emits through the satellites 2 Thor and Thor 3.

Digital channel destines its supply to the Nordic countries of Europe, basically Sweden, Denmark and Finland, although the beam of cover of the satellites includes other zones of Europe totally in the dark, being in the zone of the Iberian Peninsula.

The “illicit opening” of the system of conditional access Conax is still a serious damage for this Nordic platform, that already underwent years ago the effects of the piracy.

Conax will have to carry out in the next days several technical countermeasures with the aim of restraining more than possible height of the piracy.
