Hacker says passenger jets are at risk of cyber attack
Hacker says passenger jets are at risk of cyber attack through their WiFi and entertainment systems

'Cyber security researcher Ruben Santamarta says he has figured out how to hack the satellite communications equipment on passenger jets through their WiFi and inflight entertainment systems - a claim that, if confirmed, could prompt a review of aircraft security.

Santamarta, a consultant with cyber security firm IOActive, is scheduled to lay out the technical details of his research at this week's Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, an annual convention where thousands of hackers and security experts meet to discuss emerging cyber threats and improve security measures....

....In theory, a hacker could use a plane's onboard WiFi signal or inflight entertainment system to hack into its avionics equipment, potentially disrupting or modifying satellite communications, which could interfere with the aircraft's navigation and safety systems....'

MH370 is coming back from the dead and the airline industry is about to be grounded.

Perhaps...He will definitely have the audience's undivided attention at the conference with everything that's happened with airlines this year. Due to that I am sure he could request an astronomical speaking fee and get it.

Problems with the earth's magnetic field could very well be causing issues with navigation systems and natural navigation of animals (perhaps this is the reason birds are dropping dead from unknown reasons?). I'll need to read through your thread when I get home this evening. Your comment also reminded me of a thread I posted some months back that may be related.

Yeah I believe the fields are having an effect on the natural navigation of animals. Perhaps this explains why they are dropping dead. BBC also says something about the effects of the fields moving. I included a link in the thread as well.

I think this is what all this drama about terrorism, and now ebola being used by terrorists as a bio weapon and a WMD and what have you....are the excuses we are being primed with for the halt in travel and movement about to occur soon and all due to the fact that the fields would be reversing soon. The world is about to change on a fundamental and spiritual level but the masses would have no idea why or what is really going on....

Re: Hacker says passenger jets are at risk of cyber attack
I did some more searching online about this. Appears someone earlier this year was able to prove they could take control using nothing more than an Android phone and an app.

Researcher hacks aircraft controls with Android smartphone

[link to www.theregister.co.uk]

However the FAA has countered and stated a pilot could still overide if control was taken remotely.

'“The FAA has determined that the hacking technique described during a recent computer security conference does not pose a flight safety concern because it does not work on certified flight hardware,” he said.

“The described technique cannot engage or control the aircraft’s autopilot system using the FMS or prevent a pilot from overriding the autopilot,” said Dorr.

Therefore, a hacker cannot obtain ‘full control of an aircraft,’ as the technology consultant has claimed,”'


[link to www.businessweek.com]

So what happens if the pilot(s) were somehow incapacitated and unable to take manual control? It does state no physical contact is required to take control, but lets say you have a person or multiple people that are not tech savvy already on-board and their only duty it to incapacitate the crew meanwhile someone on the ground that is tech savvy takes control?

 Quoting: Ohwell


The truth is most definitely stranger than we can probably imagine, and I believe you are correct in the fact that big changes are coming our way. I also agree that most, if not all, we see happening daily is to distract us from something much, much bigger going on in the background. Regardless, there's not a whole lot we can do about it other than pay attention, don't panic, and see what comes to fruition.

Maybe they (the PTB) might crash a few more planes just to drive the point home but only a few more or possibly even only one more needs to be crashed before they grind the whole industry to a halt and every other airline becomes a potential WMD..

Interesting that the 'Airplanes - is more going on than we know?' thread was posted 3 days before MH17.

Also, I read your thread 'Airline Industry Incidents' that you posted earlier today. I now understand why you were alarmed about the diversion to Tel Aviv.

Something is definitely amiss....
