Editing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappearance theories (section)

==Cyberattack==
The hypothesis that a [[cyberattack]] may have been carried out on Flight 370 has been raised, primarily based on statements made by Sally Leivesley, a former scientific advisor to the UK government.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ibtimes.com/new-malaysia-airlines-flight-mh370-cyber-hijack-theory-emerges-after-vulnerabilities-1561723?ft=74gk7 | title=New Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 'Cyber Hijack' Theory Emerges After 'Vulnerabilities' Found in Inflight System| website=[[International Business Times]] | date=16 March 2014 | first1=Philip | last1=Ross | access-date=23 March 2018}}</ref> Whether existing security on commercial flights is sufficient to prevent such an attack is also a matter of debate, although [[Boeing]] has dismissed the possibility. A spokeswoman for the company, Gayla Keller, said that they were "confident in the robust protection of all flight[-]critical systems and inability for a hacker to gain access by either external or internal means on the 777 and all Boeing airplanes."<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.wtop.com/215/3589889/Boeing-rules-out-777-cyber-sabotage | title=Boeing rules out cyber sabotage connection to missing plane | work=[[WTOP-FM]] | date=25 March 2014| access-date=30 March 2014| author=Green, J.J.}}</ref>

While supporters of this theory have cited Hugo Teso's app which hacked into pilot-training software, which Teso presented at a conference in April 2013, the [[Federal Aviation Administration]] and other major governmental bodies dismissed the significance of the app. They stated that the software on an actual plane would be different from the software on which Teso had tested his app.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Security-Watch/Cyber-Conflict-Monitor/2014/0324/Malaysia-Airlines-Flight-MH370-Are-planes-vulnerable-to-cyber-attack-video | title=Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: Are planes vulnerable to cyber-attack?
