Conspiracy Theory
posted on June 15, 2015 12:01
The last couple of months have seen some interesting blips pop up on the security radar screen. To me, the most interesting on is the claim by Hugo Teso, a commercial pilot and security consultant and trained commercial pilot who claims to have developed an Android app that can remotely attack and take full control of an aircraft. The story goes that he was able to cobble together hardware and software, he got on eBay.
