HACKER MADE UNITED FLIGHT FLY SIDEWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

US Navy ships and submarines run a custom
version of Microsoft Windows.
For instance, this one that was nearly new and grounded
in the Philippines and had to be cut up for scrap.

Do airliners?

Over quarter million miles here on United myself, and this has me on edge...

Ever wonder just how many times your vehicles On-Star microphone has been hacked?

A driver and a passenger hacker can easily eavesdrop into a vehicle near by. Can even respond through their speakers. Along with any other functions that are triggered remotely, electronically over a network.

Example, On-Star can unlock doors. SO can a hacker.

NOT hard to get.

You should be concerned. This is our future, but the future is now.

Yessiree

Yep, always figured using computers for practically everything could be a bad move.

Coming up next, those self-driving cars and semi-trucks. What could go wrong though, I mean how often do computer glitches, crashes, viruses and hacking really happen? Oh, wait, ...

Be the first on your block to die of a lost packet.

Computers changed the world, but their applications have gone viral, and now could be the vehicle of our demise.

I feel that one way this can be prevented, is by establishing some kind of pass phrase by the captain of the air craft.This is to control all communications to air craft systems. Each time the plane takes off, a new pass phrase is made. This can be changed only if the pilot is not in control of the plane, for any reason, by trusted people in the ground. A strong encryption system can also help here.

Those are glitches that fail the systems. Imagine a glitch that actually enhances or creates awareness. It is very possible, inevitable over time.

Chinese military ships, submarines and planes and I assume
just about anything China builds are based
on Red Flag Linux

The F-22, the F-35 and US ships and submarines all run
a version of Microsoft Windows.

There is always a way in. The only way to secure any system is to stay one step ahead and even that is not always possible

Hell, go look inside a F22 raptor...it's tech is considered SO secure through obscurity because It's based on 1989 IBM code, and most modern military jamming/hacking equipment doesn't know how to obstruct code that old.

That's good. But...

I just can't get into the air at all. Eek!

I don't do selfies, and for sure when I have the controls.

if i would have been sitting next to that guy, i would been like

so whatcha doin?

Sideways not so bad, but if it would have done a loop

Lol yes, when it's all you, you're good. I'm just a homebody. And I like my feet on the ground. But...what ever floats your boat ;) Take pics for us recluses!

holyshitballsbatman I hope that to hack in to something, does not always mean to harm..maybe sometimes protect.

That's a way of making 'em pay attention. I'm just a fraidy-cat. Been on planes to where ever and Hawaii. Frightening events, all. That's about enough of that...

AND DRONES AT THE WHITEHOUSE,HMMM.

heres what i read when i read this headline.

hackers made planes fly into mountains, oceans and disappear,

Cost cutting on a massive scale for the dumbest things. It would cost them nothing to have a separate network. Most likely they share the mobile network with their ACARS system and the WiFi in order to not pay the expense of having dual systems.

Yanno I have a anti-hacker tech I want to develop so these sorts of events are history not daily events. So I looked around for investors. Mind you I do not have a prototype built as that costs way too much for average people these days.

Everything was going ok until the one question was asked "Why has nobody else done this yet?"

My answer was simple but investors can be so skeptical and so no funding.

Until someone gets a grip and realizes the solution to this is not going to come from Intel, Microsoft, Apple or Google - this sort of thing will keep happening.

Sad.
