Malaysian airplane hacked?

Can an airplane be hacked? Reprogrammed through malware or a backdoor to shut down communications and fly out to sea until it runs out of fuel? I wondered. Yes, it turns out, that might be possible.

The fire theory seems plausible.

  1. I read the other day where the Russians had captured a US drone via some sort of hacking and the US is planning on replacing its manned spy planes with drones.

  2. That fire scenario struck me as the Occam's razor of this mystery -- simplest explanation that fits the known facts.
