app could hijack a plane

I think technology has gone to far. There is now a smart phone app the could hijack a plane. A German security consultant said a Android app could be used to hijack a plane remotely.  Wednesday the Netherlands, Hugo Teso said that he spent 3 years making this 'SIMON' thing that could be used to 'attack and exploit airline security software' and then this app takes over controlling the  plane. The man calls this PlaneSploit. They tested it using a flight-simulator to show what it can do by sending radio waves to it.  It can change the speed and the altitude and the direction of the plane. The security systems  right now aren't strong enough to detect this and know its wrong. This is scary.
