Cybersecurity Breach in Aviation How Chris Roberts Exposed Aircraft Vulnerabilities

In 2015, Chris Roberts, a renowned cybersecurity researcher, captured the world’s attention when he claimed that he had managed to infiltrate an airplane's systems through the in-flight entertainment portal while in the air. Moreover, he was even able to temporarily alter the aircraft's trajectory by exploiting vulnerabilities in the system. Roberts had no malicious intent; his goal was to highlight the significant vulnerabilities in aviation systems.
