(b) Spoofing.
(c) False position reports sent from an EMTU/EMTU-C.
(d) Modification of EMTU/EMTU-C identification.
(e) Interference with Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) or other safety/distress functions.
(f) Introduction of malware, spyware, keyloggers, or other software that may corrupt, disturb, or disrupt messages, transmission, and the VMS system.
(g) The EMTU/EMTU-C terminal from communicating with, influencing, or interfering with the Global Positioning System antenna or its functionality, position reports, or sending of position reports. The position reports must not be altered, corrupted, degraded, or at all affected by the operation of the terminal or any of its peripherals or installed-software.
