"Boeing 757 Testing Shows Airplanes Vulnerable to Hacking, DHS Says"

A demonstration performed by Robert Hickey, an aviation program manager within the Cyber Security Division of the DHS S&T Directorate and his team of experts, reveals the possibility of remotely hacking a commercial aircraft. The aircraft used in the demonstration was a Boeing 757, which was proven to be vulnerable to hacking as researchers were able to successfully access its systems via radio frequency communications. This article further discusses the suggested focus on aircraft cyber infrastructure, the costs of resolving cyber vulnerabilities within the systems used by aircrafts, and the inadequacy of airplane cybersecurity.
