Cyber-attackers try to divert a commercial flight
Airline security has just entered a new era with news that on Saturday cybercriminals hacked the communications network on a commercial flight and tried to divert the plane to a fake destination and into the hands of the gang. On Sunday, EL AL Israel Airlines confirmed the attack on one of its planes. During the attack, instructions were given to the El Al crew that differed from their set route, alerting them to the possibility that terrorists were planning to crash the plane or that their attackers were planning a kidnapping.
