SpaceX Warns Starlink Users of Phishing Scams: How to Stay Safe
February 21, 2025
SpaceX has issued a warning about scammers targeting Starlink subscribers through phishing emails and texts.
The company advises customers to be cautious of any communication requesting personal information such as account email, password, or payment details.
SpaceX emphasizes that legitimate emails will only come from the '@starlink.com' domain and will never ask for personal information via email or text.
Customers are encouraged to verify the authenticity of any email or text by logging into their account directly on the official Starlink website.
Examples of scam messages include false claims about payment method issues, prompting users to enter sensitive information on fraudulent websites.
Scammers have been impersonating Starlink, including using names like 'Starlink Team 2024' in phishing attempts.
The company suggests that scammers may be identifying targets through social media activity.
In response to potential security threats, SpaceX has implemented two-factor authentication for Starlink accounts.
If a subscriber falls victim to a scam, SpaceX recommends changing their password and contacting their financial institution immediately.
