Title: AFP investigates illegal hacking of air traffic control at Tulla and Avalon
Post by: Jacko on November 07, 2016, 06:44:12 AM

So yes this isn't good. It seems that Tullamarine and Avalon have had someone doing some fake airband transmissions. Scary stuff indeed!

Honestly why people think they can do this is totally beyond me...

They will likely find the party or parties responsible. This type of thing has been going on for decades...nothing new.
