This sounds silly, of course, but it wouldn't surprise me if someone cheaped out somewhere and connected two networks that should never be connected together.

- ArchOversight 6y agoMost of the entertainment systems on airplanes were an afterthought that was implemented after the fact, not something built-in in the first place.
- hsbauauvhabzb 6y agoThat’s kind of beside the point, any aircraft security staff involved would demand segregation. 150k random companies? Hell, 75% don’t even have security teams.
