I wonder if the flight can be ‘hacked’ by a passenger, through the entertainment console? I’m aware that flight MH-370 was NOT an Airbus, so it could just be ‘sudden Jihadi syndrome’ by Muzzie pilots, or cockpit intrusion by a passenger or more likely a crew member.

I think someone penetrated the cockpit. Hope we find out soon.

A computer malfunction would not make radio contact impossible.

“I wonder if the flight can be ‘hacked’ by a passenger, through the entertainment console?”

According to a cyber security expert interviewed on Fox the other day, expert hackers would be able to interface with the comsat and avionics systems if they had the right equipment. Hackers could even place a remotely operated device aboard a flight and control it from the ground.

He said this would require extremely advanced computer skills, but that it could be done.
