"Hacks on a plane" an upcoming movie be Virgin Airlines America ....dude if they can out linux on it someone can hack it, if they encrypt credit card info someone can decrypt it. Basically your inviting a hacker into a LAN full of innocent people and sensitive information, it gets so much worse when your playing on their turf though. The way I see it is this a big juicy target for a man in the middle attack, unless they create some sort of authenticated Ethernet. Personally I wouldn't let a credit card near it till i know i cant hack into it, but even then I'd be cautious I know very little in the way of penetration techniques compared to many of my friends.
The new FiOS HD DVR, arguably the biggest update since Verizon released a DVR, thanks to its external storage support, enhanced multi-room functionality and slick new 16x9 HD user interface.
