My take on all this is people spend 5 minutes thinking about it and are
confident they know it all.
Wouldn't it be nice if we COULD do that? :)
A few years back some hacker claimed they'd gotten into the Boeing
flight control computers via the passenger entertainment system. I don't
know the disposition of this case, but if true, such coupling of systems
is a gigantic no-no. Some engineers would have some serious 'splainin to
do.
Wonder if it could've just been a honeypot. (Or just someone who was
full-of-it.) Although, I'm not sure how much point there would be to a
honeypot if the systems really were electronically isolated.
