As the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines continues, theories about the plane's fate are multiplying.

And while the possibility of hijacking by one of the passengers or even the pilots themselves is very likely, the most recent scenarios speak of a remote breach of the plane's central system by hackers.

Dr. Sally Leivesley, a British expert specializing in counter-terrorism, told the Sunday Express newspaper that hackers could have compromised the plane's flight control system, disabling communications and programming it to change course, land, or even crash. Such an attack could have been carried out via a mobile phone or USB.

However, according to the prevailing scenario, the Boeing's course change was made from within the cockpit, and not remotely, and possibly the pilots of flight MH370 are also involved in the case.
