It is possible for hackers to bring down a plane

[defcon4]

Investigators warn airplane computers could be hacked www.palmbeachpost.com
Although the GAO (Government Accountability Office) warning is vague, I believe it is a reference to Airliner irreversible-control anti-hijack system Patent # US 6845302 B2.

Could remote highjacking play a role in Germanwings Flight 9525?
It is an ongoing investigation.

Yeah that stupid bitch thinks somebody will go for it when she pisses everybody off?

As to planes, because of the nature of cxomputer software, any software cna be changed. If you can access the code, you can change the code. So yes, a hacker can crash a plane at least in theory. Like to think the aircrew would notice the ground rushing up at them and disable computer control piloting manually but this and other reasons are why I haven't flown since long before 9/11.

I enjoy flying, just don't like my chances if something goes wrong. Rather take my chances with a seatbelt and airbag.

The post I made, that you keep referring to, was making fun of the posting style of the idiot who started whatever thread we were in.

That's the problem. When anti-highjacking is activated, 1/ nobody can reverse that on the plane, 2/ injects tranquilizer gas into the plane even if one tried to reverse remote control takeover.
