Ok Mixture, now the statement is clearly qualified I am happy.

I was not suggesting aircraft hackers could use stuxnet, merely pointing out with determination (and resources) anything is possible.

I would not think it beyond the ability of a well financed terrorist group to invent a hack that allows them to disable an aircraft comms/electronics, maybe even screw autopilot and fly by wire (you can't pull every breaker or you can't fly it manually.

I agree a bit far to fly it from your seat or the toilets.
