Starlink "bug" Locked Users Out of Their Accounts;

• https://www.activistpost.com by B.N. Frank

Starlink satellites have been a disappointment in oh so many ways.  It was reported in 2022 that speeds were slowing down everywhere which may have contributed to lower subscription numbers than the company predicted.  Recently subscribers had even more to complain about.

From Ars Technica:

Starlink's overzealous fraud detection locked users out of their accounts

"We had an account issue that led us to falsely flag your account as fraud."

Jon Brodkin

The Starlink bug that locked some users out of their accounts last week was caused by overzealous fraud detection that falsely flagged legitimate accounts as fraudulent. Affected users yesterday received an email titled "False Positive Fraud Account Correction," but not everyone has been able to get back into their accounts yet.
