On Wednesday aviation industry heavyweights stated that cyber crime is a serious threat to safety in the skies and it causes catastrophic incidents, PM News informs.

Cyber criminals and hackers are steales information but in a worst-case scenario could endanger lives by tampering with airline systems.


Last week the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and other bodies signed a new cyber security agreement formalizing their front against cyber crime to take action against hacking.

“Our common goal in developing this agreement is to work more effectively together to establish and promote a robust cyber security culture and strategy for the benefit of all actors in our industry,” said secretary general of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Raymond Benjamin.

According to him: “As technologies rapidly evolve and become more readily accessible to all, cyber threats cannot be ignored.”

Benjamin also added:“This is an important new area of aviation security concern and our global community will ensure that it is met with a strong level of commitment and response.”

Jouleconcept's correspondent, Mr Juwah Awele covered the story and gave a report in form of an article about the occurrence. This can be read below: “There is fire in house 2! There were children locked inside the house…” those were the words of my elderly neighbour, Mrs A, returning from the scene of some ongoing tragedy. Immediately, my mother went for all our official documents she always keeps in a ready to go bag while, my father, brother and I set off in the direction of the blaze. On getting to the front of the close, T Close, we observed the residents of the first few houses on the left hastily withdrawing their belongings from their homes; stuffing generators, plasma TVs, gas cylinders and the works into the back seat of their cars.
