| Anonymous Coward User ID: 19343097 United Kingdom07/26/2013 06:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.cnbc.com] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7918044 BOSTON, July 26 - Hacker Barnaby Jack has died in San Francisco, a week before he was due to show off techniques for attacking implanted heart devices that he said could kill a man from 30 feet away. It was not immediately clear what had happened. The San Francisco Medical Examiner's office said that Jack had died in the city on Thursday, but declined to elaborate. SUSPICIOUS MUCH??? very interesting they use 'show off' instead of 'show up' almost like a cheap put down - very cheap rip to a clever bloke who obviously did the right things to the right people to be so 'unfortunate' |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 19343097 United Kingdom07/27/2013 03:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The public is not grasping the story well from what I can tell . Most are like good - no one should be able to do that. Or even, some are saying "good riddance." Quoting: Anonymous Coward 39209114 Is there such a gulf between thinking people and not these days? yes- it seems to me that if pacemakers were shown to be 'faulty' then there is the potential for lawsuits against their manufacturers big MONEY always seems to figure when someone gets off'd that and the requisite damning of their good name and good works - as above - they chose the term 'show off ' ( as in what he could do ) instead of 'show up' ( inadequately protected health tech ) the faults inherent in pacemaker tech |

Strawberry Girl User ID: 34792354 United States07/27/2013 06:51 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Jack told Reuters in an interview last week that he had devised a way to attack heart patients by hacking into a wireless communications system that links implanted pacemakers and defibrillators with bedside monitors that gather information about their operations. "I'm sure there could be lethal consequences," he said.  Goodbye, halcyon days... There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened. |

User ID: 41311792 United States07/27/2013 08:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Too bad he did not get the chance test it out on Dick Cheney. He was whacked no doubt. Hope he left a dead mans switch or shared his work with someone so we can learn from it. While this hack is interesting, it is not a new idea or even that sophisticated. Seems a bit extreme, either the implications of what he found were too sensitive, or maybe he had something else going on. Either way a sad loss of an obviously brilliant mind, RIP. |
