Missing Malaysia Airlines flight could have fallen victim to world's first 'cyber-hijack

• The Age
Flight MH370 could have fallen victim to the world’s first ‘‘cyber-hijack’’, with a British anti-terrorist expert saying a plane could be taken over using a mobile phone or USB stick. Former Home Office scientific adviser Dr Sally Leivesley said hackers could change the plane’s speed, altitude and direction by sending radio signals to its flight management system. It could then be landed or made to crash by remote control, Dr Leivesley told the Sunday Express in London.
