US: Homeland Security team remotely hacked a Boeing 757
During a speech at the 2017 CyberSat Summit, a DHS official admitted that he and his team of experts remotely hacked into a Boeing 757. The hack was not conducted in a laboratory, but on a 757 parked at the airport in Atlantic City, New Jersey. And the actual hack occurred over a year ago, said Robert Hickey, an aviation program manager within the Cyber Security Division of the DHS Science and Technology Directorate. “We got the airplane Sept 19, 2016. Two days later, I was successful in accomplishing a remote, non-cooperative, penetration,” Hickey said. While the details of the hack are classified, Hickey admitted that his team of industry experts and academics pulled it off by accessing the 757’s “radio frequency communications.” <br/>
