Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, a Boeing 777 with 239 passengers and crew on board, departed Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia on 8 March at 12:21am local time en route to Beijing. At around 01:05am, in clear weather just off the coast of Vietnam, it disappeared without a trace.
As multinational rescue crews scramble to find any sign of the plane over an area covering 27,000 square nautical miles, and the mystery of the stolen passports, and the flight’s “black box” deepens, we at ITProPortal examine the evidence that the disappearance could be a frightening new turn in the development of cyber weapons.
This might seem far-fetched. In fact, it is far-fetched. But as our world increasingly relies on Internet-connected devices, the number of attack vectors has increased accordingly – and if there’s one thing our regular readers will know, it’s that the crackpot theories of today too often become the imminent threats of tomorrow.
The article dives deep into the possibilities and mysteries that surrounds oddities of the disappearence of this flight. Its a great article by Paul Cooper and I suggest you read the whole thing over there. At this point anything is possible.
