A U.S. Department of Transportation audit found a high risk of cyberattacks on U.S. air traffic control systems because those systems link to insecure Web applications used by aviation authorities across the nation. Penetration testers found 763 high-risk vulnerabilities in 70 Web applications for a range of aviation functions, including those that distribute communications frequencies for pilots.
damn! and i just wanted to log on and rock out to forget the fact that i got on a plane with a low-paid, inexperienced pilot, am strapped into a seat that wouldn't save a rat's ass, served tepid water by a harridan who looks (and sounds) like my third-grade teacher, and have to smell my seatmate's farts for the next three hours because the a/c in the cabin is on the fritz. now i gotta worry about whether or not the plane is sending phishmail and malware to the unwary below us????
