Reseachers design a Device to take over a plane's electronics

[drron]

Computer researchers in San Diego have produced a device which enables it to take over a planes auto pilot.
Sounds like a disaster but the device has to be physically attached to the plane. May lead to extra costs to protect against this happening.
But I am sure some bad guys are looking into it.

Researchers Use a Physical Device to Take Over Electronics in a Boeing 737

Physical access to an aircraft has not typically been considered a cybersecurity risk – but it should be, according to a team of computer scientists at the University of California San Diego.

Bit similar to the Toyota Canbus issue where unencrypted access allows thieves to steal $100-160K cars in thirty seconds, oh what a feeling

Which was similar to the one which allowed remote taking-over of Stellantis products (eg. Fiat, Jeep & Chrysler) except nobody who owns one of those really wants to keep it so nobody was super worried about them being taken away remotely ...
