This is recycled news.
A quick Google search shows that articles about this were floating around in early 2008

I could be wrong but i would think that anything that has computer systems could be vulnerable . I would think these systems would be highly protected .

All computers are vulnerable to an extent. Unless the would-be hacker decides to rummage around the cabin pulling out wires in the galley, I don't see the issue. Keeping IFE on an isolated network is always a wise move though.

Probably no reputable writers would put their name to such recycled articles . As i said , i assume such systems would be very highly protected . Won't stop me flying on one .
