據路透社報道,網絡安全研究員魯本圣馬爾塔表示,他發現了一種方法,可以通過飛機WIFI和機上娛樂系統入侵民航客機上的衛星通訊設備.如果該說法得到證實,將引發對飛機安全的重新審視.

Reuters: Cyber security researcher Ruben Santamarta says he has figured out how to hack the satellite communications equipment on passenger jets through their WiFi and inflight entertainment systems - a claim that, if confirmed, could prompt a review of aircraft security.

Santamarta, a consultant with cyber security firm IOActive, is scheduled to lay out the technical details of his research at this week's Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, an annual convention where thousands of hackers and security experts meet to discuss emerging cyber threats and improve security measures.

His presentation earlier this week on vulnerabilities in satellite communications systems used in aerospace and other industries is expected to be one of the most widely watched at the conference.
