A new FAA report about the safety of the U.S. air traffic control system says the system is vulnerable to serious cyber attack. The report details several recent security breaches that could have been used to sabotage mission-critical networks. One of the most serious attacks came last August, when hackers took control of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) computers in Alaska.
