The missing Malaysian Plane MH370 hacked with mobile phone, says expert

[WhiteHat]

One of the Malaysian Flight MH370 which is still missing for
more than a week could have been hacked by a mobile
phone and said to be the world?s first ?cyber hijack,? British
anti-terror expert says. The Malicious codes installed in the
Boeing 777***8242;s computers by a mobile phone or a USB stick,
Dr Sally Leivesley, a former science advisor for the UK?s Home
Office, told the Sunday Express. That installed malware may
have a ?set of processes? which would allow to control plane?s
speed, altitude and direction remotely, Dr Leivesley considers.
?It is looking more and more likely that the control of some
systems was taken over in a deceptive manner, either manually
? or via a remote device turning off or overwhelming the systems,
? Dr Leivesley said.
She said evidence suggests Flight MH370 may have been taken
over by someone with ?a very sophisticated systems engineering
understanding?. ?It is possible for hackers ? to get into the main
computer network of the plane through the inflight, onboard
entertainment system,? she said.
In April 2013, we published an article in which a German security
researcher demonstrated-how a hack a plane by just using
a mobile phone.
