LONDON, UK. In a communication with Lirpa Airlines, Giuseppe Paternò (aka Gippa) announced today that he will join Lirpa Airlines as a pilot in command. Giuseppe states that “there was too excitement in the IT space, and I decided to switch to a more standard job instead”. Gippa will continue in the security computing industry as an hobbyist and his main goal is to test security of on-board equipment while flying the plan: “It’s not any different from doing a vulnerability assessment of a bank production environment, except that you are airbone”, he stated. Lirpa Airline is convinced that giving more security will make more customers safe and happy: their  brand new Airbus A-320 will be equipped with a new firewall sign for the passengers, that are now obliged to activate their firewall on their electronic devices before taking off and landing.
