Reports say a ground computer - responsible for triggering an alarm after three in-flight failures are reported by the plane - failed.
The computer at airline headquarters should have emitted an alarm if a fault for three similar technical problems was identified.
The computer failed to do so and also was implicated in a spam attack on customers that investigators said could have originated from a phishing attack.
