So you’re saying that my understanding as restated and written in #63 is wrong? Because what you’re saying does not compute with what I’m reading. Not being sarcastic here; just confused and wondering if all these news people are misunderstanding the Fed Register.
“A document filed on the US Federal Register website indicates that aircraft manufacturer Boeing applied to have additional security installed aboard some of its 777 series of airplanes five months ago to prevent onboard hacking of critical computer systems”
It sounds to me as if Boeing/Malaysia didn’t get the “additional security” installed yet.

I would cut and paste, but the entire article is relevant. It’s not the same exact plane, but the same security issue way back in ‘08.
I do believe that for whatever reason, Boeing planes with onboard Internet access that are flying out of Malaysia STILL have cyber-security issues, 6 years later. No WONDER Malaysia is not cooperating with a thorough investigation. They’re probably afraid their airline business is about to lose all its customers. lol.
