Given how many pies Boeing has it’s fingers in. There is no small list of possibilities. Most of which would be extremely detrimental for the United States in general. Not just the cabal. If it made it into public circulation.
The proprietary data on its Commercial Fleet alone would be worth a fortune. When it comes to Defense Contracts.
Specs for Missiles, ICBMs, Missile Defense, Classified information for Military Jet Aircraft etc. Are just a small fraction of possibilities.
Depending on what they actually got. They could potentially reveal weaknesses in onboard Electronic/Computer systems. Composition of classified materials. Potential design flaws to exploit. SAP programs. The list goes on.
Possible example. Suppose they reveal weaknesses in onboard computers. Airliner flying over the Rockies for instance. Spoof fake altitude and navigation data. You could potentially get planes running straight into Mountains if the weather was bad enough and pilot visibility poor.
I’d probably avoid flying on anything Boeing manufactured for the foreseeable future. At least until the full extent of the breach becomes known. Because you are in essence relying on a group that’s already of dubious ethics to not be willing to endanger the lives of innocent people if Boeing doesn’t pay up. That’s supposing they aren’t state actors employed by as part of a plausible deniability group.
