Obviously a bad idea, but frying it with some sort of high powered electromagnetic pulse would seem the smartest option with plausible deniability.

I wonder if the US already has such weapons in orbit.

Realistically, how many people could do this ?

This is not something individuals should be doing.

If you gave me a million dollars, I could do it. Someone else would have to aim it, but it shouldn't be that hard to do.

I assume that satellites have protection against that - because of solar flares.

Kessler event oops, you know. I guess I know someone with several disposable satellites, I wonder if they could be bothered (but I guess not)
