Is there pilot in the plane? SCADA Problems Too Big To Call Bugs !
SCADA Problems Too Big To Call Bugs , but design flaws
SCADA software used to control the U.S.'s critical infrastructure.
DHS warning issues has no sense? For those who do not know, 747's are big flying Unix hosts. At the time, the engine management system on this particular airline was Solaris based. The patching was well behind and they used telnet as SSH broke the menus and the budget did not extend to fixing this. The engineers could actually access the engine management system of a Boeing 747 in route. If issues are noted, they can re-tune the engine in air.
BAD HARDWARE WEEK: Great. WHat I have told you?
