I'm very skeptical of the "damage is permanent" claim. I wouldn't be surprised if it's used to hype up the event even more just like the hype around the fact that this is satellite terminals being hacked even though I believe the attack is very boring and would equally apply to any terrestrial-based ISP whose management network is compromised. I would bet good money that what they claim "permanent damage" is just misconfiguration that prevents the terminal from connecting to the network but can be recovered via an on-site visit, and hyping up the entire event also works in the company's favour as an ass-covering technique as I suspect the actual vulnerability is very simple & boring (which would be very bad if it were go to public that they have such bad security).
