Hugo Teso, a German security consultant and who is also a trained commercial pilot has developed a ''killer'' Android app that could control a virtual aircraft speed, attitude and direction.
While making his presentation at a security summit held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands showed the crowd present how the Android app could steal control of an airplane. He took him three years to fully developed the Android app that run the malicious code generator, which he calls Planespoilt.
Built in a way to work only on visual aircraft, the app is capable of controlling the entire navigation of the pane like turning off the light in the cockpit or changing what is display in the pilot's screen by tapping the buttons ''Please go here'' and ''visit ground''.
Instead of putting everyone at risks, he decided to give a secutiy warning to aviation safety officials.
If that app is unleashed on an actual plane, that would be ''terror''.
