This Coin-Sized Device Can Hack a Boeing 737

Security researchers demonstrated that a coin-sized device can be inserted into a Boeing 737 access point in under 60 seconds to compromise the autopilot or flight plan. The attack requires physical access to the aircraft's exterior and shows a potential vulnerability in the plane's architecture.

Why it matters: Airlines and aircraft manufacturers need to assess physical security controls on external access points; aviation security teams should evaluate detection and prevention measures for unauthorized device insertion.
