Boeing works to protect Dreamliner from hackers

Posted Thu Jan 10, 2008 5:12pm AEDT

The American aviation giant Boeing says it is doing everything  
necessary to ensure that its newest passenger plane - the 787  
Dreamliner - is safe from computer hackers.

Passengers on board the airliner will be offered in-flight access to  
the internet, prompting fears that critical information in the  
plane's data systems could be inadvertently or deliberately corrupted.

The US Federal Aviation Administration says it is working closely  
with Boeing to ensure the plane's electronic controls are not  
vulnerable.
