Are airlines really so stupid as to allow for the controls of a plane to be in any way, shape or form connected to the public Internet? If this is not true, then there is little to no risk.

This was discussed some months ago and, as I recall, the aircraft itself is never connected to the internet, but preflight, and flight planning is.
I don't undertand the details, but this seems like a really dumb lapse of common sense.

This trojan has been around a few years now.
