Vital Boeing computer network INFECTED with WannaCry VIRUS - is it safe to fly?

A VITAL Boeing computer network has been infected with a WannaCry virus affecting production equipment that may “spread to airplane software” prompting fears that flying may not be safe, it has been reported.

Boeing is understood to have been hit by the WannaCry virus prompting its chief engineer, Mike VanderWel, to send out a company memo calling for “All hands on deck”.
Mr VanderWel said: “It is metastasising rapidly out of North Charleston and I just heard 777 (automated spar assembly tools) may have gone down.”
The chief engineer also expressed his worries about the virus “spreading to airplane software”, but at the moment it is believed the hack has been contained to production only.
The Boeing chief engineer emphasised that a “battery-like response” was needed to fix the problem.
He added that he was “on a call with just about every VP in Boeing”.
Mr VanderWel’s statement was referencing the issue of battery fire the company experience back in 2013 that plagued 787 Dreamliner planes.
This particular instance resulted in the grounding of planes and forced others to make emergency landings.
