Plane Hacking Hijinks – Daily Security Byte EP.85

May 18, 2015 By Corey Nachreiner

Last month a security researcher was detained from a flight for allegedly making a silly plane hacking joke on Twitter. The latest news suggest his research was more than a just a joke. Watch today’s video to learn what he’s accused of and why I think he was irresponsible.

Quick show note: I’ll be traveling to speak at a conference this week. I’ll try to keep my daily video schedule, however, I may miss a day or two due to travel.
