Hacking into my aircraft will be extremely difficult. Even those who physically wired to the aircraft with appropriate permissions find it difficult to perform updates. And judging by the bugs in our current version of software, I reckon not even the flight control software writer has a clue what’s under the bonnet. So how will a hacker get in? I’m not saying never, but I think this story has been over-hyped. Maybe someone is writing a book or trying to publish a paper?
