The fact that computers are on the plane in and of itself is a
"security vulnerability" by your definition.
By the definitions of many, in fact, but for different reasons.
The article you quoted had no specifics on the connections so I have
no data to judge the nature of the vulnerability. Please update us if
you have those specifics. Otherwise, you're just fanning anti-Boeing
flames via ignorance.
If the networks have a physical connection between them, they are
vulnerable.
That must be why Boeing has been working with the FAA to correct the
issue.
The FAA knows nothing about resolving this type of issue, and
apparently Boeing doesn't, either (or it doesn't want to spend the
time and money to do it right).
Again, wrong
