The Malaysia Airlines plane could have been hacked through its in-flight entertainment system, the expert explained. Chris Roberts, who once claimed to have hacked NASA’s systems, told the Daily Star Online how easy it would be to hack MH370. The plane disappeared in March 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.
Mr Roberts told the Daily Star Online: “There are four routes of attack through which you can hack a plane.
"The plane itself, the controls, the electronics, and the entertainment systems."
"They could have done it by being physically close to the plane, such as onboard, or hacking it while the plane was still on the ground."
Mr Roberts explained how hackers use “attack vectors” to enter a computer system.
