Funny enough something like four months before that incident, the CEO of a cybersecurity firm that sounds like Kerberos reached out directly to American's CEO with a bullshit story that his personal laptop was hacked while onboard a flight. He was claiming all sorts of vague nonsense like sites rendering in Chinese or something and a flight attendant making him clear his history or something; I don't remember specifics but it read like bad copypasta and is quite possibly the stupidest case I've ever worked. He could not have been any more unhelpful with the investigation had he pissed directly into my eyes and called me blind. I wrote him off as a crank trying to drive business through FUD when we asked for his MAC address with the wifi vendor's AP logs in-hand. He gave us the MAC for his VPN adapter and ignored further questions. He provided so little usable information altogether I could never confirm whether he was even on that flight in the first place, much less connected to the AP and doing whatever the hell else supposedly transpired. Maybe coincidental that American's PA system gets taken over a few months later, with similar nonsensical circumstances-- it's not an obvious prank or tampering, which would get someone like me called in again looking for shenanigans. Instead, aircraft engineers looked at it from a mechanical failure angle.
