Unfortunately, sophisticated threat actors are still very hard to defend against in aviation like in software.

In my day at Boeing, nobody considered that the pilot might be a bad actor. Unfortunately, that was a mistake. It turns out pilots can be bad, and now there are procedures for that.
Funny that Boeing are capable of considering that, but not a single sensor failing and how that might impact a system designed to hide the actual aerodynamics of the plane.

Boeing really aren't a good example for anything besides negligence and how to game regulators.

I'm not going to make any excuses for MCAS's reliance on a single sensor.
