This is really interesting and kind of scary article. A department of homeland security hacker was able to gain access to the avionic controls of a Boeing 757 remotely without and internal help within the aircraft. It is kind of scary to think about about because the plane is in the air someone can hack in and take control and the pilots would have no idea what is happening before it is to late.
