Re: Fw: [IP] Malware kills 154
From the interim report available at http://www.fomento.es/MFOM/LANG_CASTELLANO/DIRECCIONES_GENERALES/ORGANOS_COLEGIADOS/CIAIAC/INVESTIGACION/2008/032_2008.htm "Based on these conclusions, the CIAIAC is of the opinion that three safety barriers provided to avoid the take-off in an inappropriate configuration were defeated: the airplane configuration checklist, the checklist to confirm and verify the airplane's actual configuration, and the TOWS, which did not warn of the improper takeoff configuration."

FYI, avionics firmware/software is subject to RTCA DO-178b certification and fly-by-wire will inevitably require a "level A" certification which is quite demanding (i mean *QUITE*DEMANDING*) for software development process certification. There is no chance that an XP-based application/system would ever meet even the lower certification levels (but for the lowest one which corresponds to passenger entertainment systems).

The malware was on a ground system that wouldn't have provided realtime warnings of the configuration problem that caused the plane to crash anyway.
