Has Chris Roberts ever actually claimed that he hacked into the controls of a plane in flight?
Or are they anything more than second-hand hearsay cited by the FBI in a warrant application?
- Spooky23 11y agoAFAIK, he made no such claim. He was on the Security Weekly podcast and said that he did no such thing. It sounds to me that they trumped up some portion of his interview in the complaint, and are going out of their way to discredit this guy. My fear is that if Mr. Roberts is right, this will have a real chilling effect on other work in the area. If he's just a security troll, it still negatively impacts everyone.

This article has a transcript of the stuff he says about the plane: http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/05/alleged-plane-hacker-said-he-pierced-boeing-jets-firewall-in-2012/ http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/05/alleged-plane-hacker...
