Poor Boeing 787 cannot catch a break. First a delay, and now FAA warns it may be vulnerable to hackers. Apparently the computers that provide in-flight entertainment such as internet access and movies, are for no reason networked with the rest of the computers such as navigational control and communications system. It is theoretical for now but it isn’t too farfetched to imagine a hacker sitting in the passenger area, taking control over the airplane. Boeing says it is aware of this issue and is now taking remedial action.
