Darlene Storm: Curious hackers inject ghost airplanes into radar, track celebrities' flights


What happens when hackers gets bored and then curious about airplane tracking
systems? Security researchers revealed a plethora of privacy and security
vulerabilities that could be exploited right now as aircraft are flying
overhead. Whether you are interested in tracking celebrites' flights or
injecting ghost airplanes into radar which may cause air traffic controllers or
pilots to dirty their underwear, here's a look at three such security
presentations: From Def Con 20 -- "Hacker + Airplanes = No Good
Can Come Of This" and "Busting the BARR: Tracking
"Untrackable" Private Aircraft for Fun & Profit." From Black Hat
USA -- "Ghost in the Air (Traffic)." Let's hope there are some
fast fixes to these serious flaws.
