Ruben Santamarta, a cyber security researcher with IOACTIVE, used a "backdoor" vulnerability to demonstrate his ability to hack into an in-flight commercial airplane's satellite internet modem.

We discuss the demonstration with Ruben and his IOACTIVE colleague Josep Pi Rodriguez. The cyber experts discuss how the flaw that allowed the hack to occur was resolved by the industry.
