Dutch Defence Secretary Boldly Claims F-35 Software Could Be 'Jailbroken' (theaviationist.com)

However, Tuinman then went on to say that if the worst case scenario does come to fruition he believes that, through unknown means, the F-35’s software could be altered without permission by third party operators. He compared this directly to ‘jailbreaking’ an iPhone, a process which allows end users to access features on iOS devices that are not usually allowed by Apple’s own software at the cost of theoretically voiding the device’s warranty and opening up the risk of security vulnerabilities or software malfunctions.

I hope they're working on their own firmware behind the scenes, or at least enough reverse engineering efforts to regain some autonomy

Lol just drop an F35 brain off in pretty much any hacking convention / competition, sit back for a day and enjoy the most literal manifestation of the phrase "weaponized autism".

I'd bet good money someone manages to run Doom on the AR visor within a week.

The idea this is something to trust in... for something as serious as national defense is absurd.

Europe would be better off just developing their own weapons systems rather than trying to hack a 35.
