The Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) has grounded Boeing's new 787
airliner after concerns about the integrity of its computer systems.
The FAA said last week that it was unhappy with the possibility of
passengers being able to hack into the aircraft's flight systems using
the data links built into each seat.
'The proposed architecture of the 787 allows passenger connectivity to
previously isolated data networks connected to systems that perform
functions required to the safe operation of the airplane,' the FAA
report stated.
