Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 HackJacked?

From Blackhat 2014...
"On the subject of backdoors, the devices that ships, airplanes, journalists, and (maybe) the military rely on to communicate aren't as secure as we thought, either. IOActive's Ruben Santamarta demonstrated that many of these systems have backdoors, ostensibly for maintenance or password recovery. Even though some of the backdoors were supposedly secured, he was able to circumvent the safeguards. The attack that hit closest to home was, unsurprisingly, Santamarta's claim that he could hack airplanes using inflight Wi-Fi. He was clear that this wouldn't let him "crash airplanes," but he also pointed out that critical communications run through this same system. In his talk, he hacked a nautical distress beacon to display a video slot machine instead of an SOS. Consider the same sort of hack on your jumbo jet, and you get the idea of how worrisome this might be."

Also...
"Even after five months, missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 remains a mystery. The flight disappeared on March 8, 2014 after losing contact with the radar. In shocking twist of events, the cops have discovered that money from the bank accounts of some passengers traveling in MH370 is missing."

i'm pretty sure that some of their loved ones had access to their accounts.

Probably so, but the article was suggesting that it was a little more mysterious than than. Of course it could just be an attempt to sell more papers.

Or a manual jack of the plane's systems accessible from the passenger compartment. I'm thinking someone with knowledge went down into that electronics room and manipulated things from there.
