#2I hear good things about this MCAS thing Boeing is doing. Maybe it's worth copying.

Maybe you're being sarcastic, but this seems unrelated. The attacks are on internal networks with an attempt to gain unauthorised access to technical data; it seems to have nothing directly to do with attacks on the software that directly flies the plane.

No, but perhaps it is coming from the same organization that thought MCAS was a great idea. After all, such an organization obviously has severe deficiencies with basic systems engineering; what other deficiencies might it have?

The article clearly states China was believed to be responsible.

#7Out of curiosity: why is China not mentioned in the article's title, when the first sentence states a "Chinese state-sponsored hacking operation"?

That’s a cheap shot and a risible one at that. The hierarchy of decision-makers who designed and implemented MCAS and the hierarchy of decision-makers who handle the information security at Boeing is (as I’m sure you’re well aware) so far removed and unrelated to each-other as to be essentially distinct. Conway’s Law doesn’t really apply here.

Both of you provide some sources or anything more than “I could imagine X...because Boeing has been in the news lately.”.

Exactly. A rogue bunch of MCAS engineers hacking Airbus is not based on any kind of reality.
