A previously unknown firm called TargetTeam, a company based and operating from Cyprus but owned by Israelis, has developed a system called Stargetz that, according to sales materials, can track close to one million Starlink terminals worldwide.

.

In the demonstration, the firm showed how one account using a Mexican number was in fact operating from Pakistan and frequently traveling to Iran. The system seems to update at six minute intervals and does not claim to offer real-time tracking. The figures could not be independently verified.

.

Sales representatives noted that their systems can locate vessels that turn off their transmissions and "go dark," as Russian and Iranian boats have done.

"The ship can hide, but the crew still needs porn and TikTok," a salesman said, adding that Starlink terminals have become the tool of choice for drug cartels and international smugglers.

SpaceX and Starlink did not respond to requests for comment.
