A photo from open sources This is a “specialist” of a very high class, believes Australian satellite engineer It is possible that automatic systems missing in the spring over the Indian Ocean Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 Hacked a hacker, writes the Australian newspaper International Business Times. It must be a “specialist” of a very high class with deep computer hacking skills and knowledge of working mechanisms aircraft equipment, says satellite engineer Michael Exner, engaged in an independent investigation into the disappearance of the liner. By According to him, about 40 minutes after the plane left Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, someone turned off all communication systems on board: satellite communications, transponder, two systems auto alerts, ACARS (address reporting system of aviation communications) and ADS-B (automatic dependent surveillance-broadcasting). It is in this while the airliner strayed unnoticed in the zones air traffic control. “However, from the side of the aircraft continued to send electronic messages to Inmarsat satellites. According to a report by the Australian Bureau of Transportation Security, the signal transmitted to the satellite was generated on terminal on board. This indicates that the system remote control was active, “writes the Australian edition. According to Exner, a hacker with deep knowledge principles of operation of the international protocol for air control traffic, was able to circumvent all security barriers. Moreover, the cracker managed to disable ACARS, which is possible to do only from the cockpit, which, according to the engineer, indicates about the exceptional technological skills of this “genius.” “Scheme shutdowns of the address reporting system of aviation communications is not described even in flight instructions. The only way to do this is find a hidden circuit breaker in the electronic compartment aircraft equipment, but the problem is that the pilots of the Boeing they don’t teach this, “Exner added. Recall on the night of March 8 2014 the liner “Boeing 777-200” airlines Malaysia Airlines, flying MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board, disappeared from the radar screens. It is assumed that the plane headed to the southern part of the Indian the ocean where it crashed. Moreover, he was in the air not less than seven hours after the disappearance from the radar.
