DHS Warns Small Airplanes Vulnerable to Flight Data Manipulation Attacks

DHS Warns Small Airplanes Vulnerable to Flight Data Manipulation Attacks | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it

What could be more horrifying than knowing that a hacker can trick the plane's electronic systems into displaying false flight data to the pilot, which could eventually result in loss of control?
Of course, the attacker would never wish to be on the same flight, so in this article, we are going to talk about a potential loophole that could allow an attacker to exploit a vulnerability with some level of "unsupervised" physical access to a small aircraft before the plane takes off.


The United States Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) has issued an alert for the same, warning owners of small aircraft to be on guard against a vulnerability that could enable attackers to easily hack the plane's CAN bus and take control of key navigation systems.

Cyberattack grounds planes in Poland | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it

LOT Polish Airlines was forced to cancel 10 flights scheduled to depart from Warsaw’s Chopin airport on Sunday after hackers attacked its ground computer systems.


The IT attack, which was not described in detail, left the company unable to create flight plans for outbound flights, grounding around 1,400 passengers.

The company said that plane systems were not affected and aircraft that were already in the air were able to continue their flight or to land. The incident only affected the ability of planes to depart from the airport for several hours.

Polish airline LOT was grounded after 'IT attack' took hold | CyberAttack | CyberSecurity | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it

An unspecified IT attack has left 1,400 passengers of Polish flag carrier LOT Polish Airlines stuck in Warsaw, after the company discovered it was unable to file flight plans for its departing aircraft.

Reuters reports that the airline's ground computer system — used to issue the flight plans — had been "hacked" on Sunday afternoon.

The system was "fixed" after five hours, leading to ten cancellations and a dozen or more flights being delayed.

LOT announced that it had "encountered IT attack (sic), that affected our ground operation systems. As a result we’re not able to create flight plans, and outbound flights from Warsaw are not able to depart."
