You should never put critical systems in the hands of a software GUI.


I wonder how much of that touchscreen system was vulnerable to external hacking?

~~~

Well, even if it’s not a touchscreen but it is still software based, then it’s still vulnerable to hacking. However, I believe that the part of the article that I skimmed said they wanted to go back to “mechanical” controls. No way to hack mechanical control unless there is an external or interlocking override.

I would say all of it. If one can set up, another can get into it. Just takes patience and time.
