The aircraft safety record in modern travel is very high. Accidents are lower than ever. With security as a top priority that you think this extends to all areas of air transport services, but he did not. WiFi security, one of the newest and most praised, services for business travelers, is not nearly as safe as it should be.
With news of the plane being themselves hacked in flight , where it leaves the free WiFi security that they give you? If your proposal is anything but "probably a lower standard, I have some swamp property before you sell First Florida.
Both sides of the aircraft and the public WiFi security
WiFi is provided to passengers on all commercial airlines a powerful firewall between it and the controls of the airplane. You would be a hacker very, very late to get past it. I'm not here to scare you with digital nightmares planes crashed.
What you should rather be worried about are your own vulnerabilities that are much more real, and much more often exploited. Why is this the case? Because stealing your information is much more profitable and easier to get away with, that hacking an aircraft.
The first threat is ever present man in the middle, or evil twin attack. This is a pirate opened their own WiFi. They can do this by turning their device into a WiFi hotspot. Say they do on a plane. You open your connections and see a connection called "Free Inflight WiFi." Think 'Sweet, Imma get this point and check my Facebook "and connect without thinking.
There are two dangers here. The first is that the network hacked "free" combo requires a login / password. Hackers rely on you to be lazy and use 
The second danger is the pirate 'sniff the connection between your computer and the Internet. The hacker will now have access to everything you write in plain text:
- Log
- Passwords
- information Store
- credit card
is just there to them in plain text to fly as they wish. They will not even have to work hard with a program to try to hack other accounts - they already know exactly how to connect to your accounts
Such attacks. are very common in public. You will be more likely to meet them in the airport itself, a cafe, or wherever you connect to public Wi-Fi networks. It will not hurt you in the way that the plane itself hacked you, you will live, but fraud as it will hurt for a long, long time.
How can you protect yourself on the plane WiFi network?
The first way is to be sure that you ask the flight attendants to the correct login name and the necessary passwords. Knowing that the connection is to choose half the battle, and some questions can save you.
Not only will you be now safe in your connection on the plan, but you'll also be any connection security at the airport, hotel, or this little coffee discover around the corner. With the now imminent piracy danger even in the sky, it's time for you to protect you. You can not assume that someone else will do it for you -. Which plays right into the hands of all the pirates
