The first Concorde flight since 2003 is underway from Heathrow to JFK.
I had no idea this was happening, and my mind is blown.

Data exposed includes:
- email addresses

- phone numbers
- social media accounts
- passwords (uhhhhh, no specifics on plaintext or hashed)
- SSNs
- DOB
- information on owned aircraft
- activity on the platform
- last 4 digits of credit card number
FlightAware Exposed Pilots’ and Users’ Info · 404 Media
Flight tracking website #FlightAware exposed users’ personal and professional information, including their physical addresses, what aircraft they owned, pilot status, and what flights they viewed, according to a data breach notification. #aviation

Anyone know if the #FlightAware "security incident" involved plaintext passwords? Certainly smells like it... First I'm seeing anything about this.
Interesting to see how much coverage can get spun up fairly quickly; ADSB.fi already tracking 42% the number of flights as ADSBx is.
Number of aircraft being tracked by the large flight trackers at 1600 UTC (10:00 AM CST).

Over 1,200 US #flights scheduled for Thursday #canceled as of Wednesday afternoon, according to #FlightAware
Airports in #Denver and #Chicago had some of the biggest cuts.
Airlines also scrubbed about 700 flights scheduled for #Friday as they prepared for the storm to sweep eastward in the coming days.
It’s time for a proper #introduction.
I’m a #GeekDad with two boys.
I’m current serving military, but don’t know any secrets!
I got to infosec.exchange just ahead of the main wave.
Somehow, through some early conversations and comments I managed to #RedTeam my way onto some lists of ‘good people to follow’.
On Twitter I stood at the back of the room and looked to people like you for information and perspective. Now it seems I’ve moved further into the room and people are looking at me and it feels like I’m taking the class ‘Introduction to#ImposterSyndrome’.
While I don’t work in #InfoSec I do relate strongly to the community and learn from you all.
I know enough to know it’s always #DNS (or #BGP)
At home I run #pfSense, #HomeAssistant and feed #ADS-B data to #FlightAware and #FlightRadar24.
My favourite #TWIT episodes are when @MikeElgan and @jeffjarvis go head to head.

Almost all aircraft have a little box inside that outputs the location, callsign, speed, altitude, etc to anyone with an antenna in line-of-sight to that plane and a software radio dongle plugged into a #RaspberryPi.
I have a cheap antenna mounted on a pole that collects that data and feeds it to #adsbexchange, #Flightradar24, #radarbox, and #flightaware.
If you're ever on a flight from Melbourne, Sydney, or Brisbane to LAX you will be line of sight from my antenna about 10 minutes before landing, and I'm going to catch your plane's information.
Wave "hi" out the window! #adsb
Direction Francfort pour celui là ️
