Did malware cause the crash of Spanair Flight JK 5022?

August 23, 2010 by Joseph L. Flatley
Did malware cause the crash of Spanair Flight JK 5022? The inquiry into the August 2008 crash of Spanair Flight JK 5022 at Barajas Airport in Madrid took a bizarre turn recently when Spanish daily El Pais reported that the server that the airline used to track technical problems on aircraft contained malware.

That's not to say that human error wasn't a factor: as well as causing an audible alarm, the problem should have been spotted by the mechanic or airport maintenance chief, both of whom are under investigation. Space stations, power grids, and now airline safety systems?
