Not sure if you DB the guy or the NTA for ignoring him,

Seems to have a very legit company and claims for 5 years he has been hacking into Planes and trying to get the attention of the NTSB all that time. So have they ignored the guy or just giving out contracts to friends of FLOTUS?

This guy hacks into the engine controls from the entertainment website and can move the plane....while he is on it! Thats some scary ass shit!

Here is his company....

Here is the story....

Might have to talk to some guys at work and see exactly how probable this is.

FBI confirmed he has broken in before, never increased the engine speed until now....but the breaking in....good enough.

Just fucking hire the guy, let him show you what he did.

This was a Chicago to Syracuse flight on United....just in case anyone is flying that route!

Some people saying he took control of the plane...some people saying it's simply not possible...

Senior law enforcement officials said Sunday that no evidence gathered thus far suggests that such a capability, as outlined by Roberts, exists. The official was not authorized to speak publicly.

"While we will not comment on specific allegations, there is no credible information to suggest an airplane's flight control system can be accessed or manipulated from its in flight entertainment system. Nevertheless, attempting to tamper with the flight control systems of aircraft is illegal and any such attempts will be taken seriously by law enforcement."

Of course, senior law enforcement officials would say it's not possible.

Roberts was not charged with a crime, but the FBI seized his computer equipment — including a laptop, several hard drives, flash drives and black iPad with a "Death Wish Coffee Co." sticker — because they believed he "had the ability and the willingness" to hack into in-flight entertainment systems and "possibly the flight control systems" on future flights.


yeah... like they will understand what the fuck he was doing...

it has to be possible. airline engineers have admitted the flight control systems are physically connected to the entertainment networks. every hacker knows as long as there is a connection there is a way...

The newer planes are set up that I'd see this being possible...but the one's he listed...I have my doubts.

If it isnt possible....then why take his computer or even know who he is?

Did he jump up and tell everyone he hacked into the controls?

Now, every little shit is going to be trying this......"Hey, Mom wanna see the plane go faster?"

Its very believable... There are hackers who can shut your engine off or accelerate-brake these 2015 vehicles with a laptop .

Again...2015...new stuff...the planes in question are much older...I highly doubt he did what he said he did.
