Robert Hickey, a US Homeland Security cyber sleuth, managed to take over the passenger plane at Atlantic City International Airport in New Jersey. The plane was hacked in 2016 but Hickey revealed the chilling details during his speech at the recent CyberSat Summit, Avionics Today reported.
4 days ago - Shane Watson has recorded the first century of the latest Big Bash competition in. Battering eight fours and six sixes to all parts of the ground.
He said: “We got the aeroplane on September 19, 2016. “Two days later, I was successful in accomplishing a remote, noncooperative, penetration.” Mr Hickey said the details of the hack were classified but they used a combination of radio frequency communications to break in. But in March 2017 he was shocked to learn that seven airline pilot captains from American Airlines and Delta Air Lines had no idea that their aircraft could be hacked. A Boeing spokesman said: “The Boeing Company has worked closely for many years with DHS, the FAA, other government agencies, our suppliers and customers to ensure the cybersecurity of our aircraft and will continue to do so. “Boeing observed the test referenced in the Aviation Today article, and we were briefed on the results. We firmly believe that the test did not identify any cyber vulnerabilities in the 757, or any other Boeing aircraft.” Switching the code in avionics equipment could cost up to about $A2 million and take a year to fix, he added.

Last year it was claimed that hackers could access plane controls while in flight on several major airlines. Crooks could allegedly access Emirates, Virgin and Qatar airlines through the Panasonic Avionics in-flight system, according to cybersecurity researchers at IOActive. Panasonic denied this was possible. This article originally appeared in and has been republished here with permission.
