  1. Re:That kind of attitude is the problem on Hacking a Pacemaker · · Score: 0

    Being realistic I don't think is a problem.

    The intent is not that = Oh, Security doesn't matter.

    The intent is that if it was made with electronics, there is an exploit for it, regardless how stupid and/or insignificant it may be.

    People are not going to live in bubbles that have fail-safe bubbles built-in.

    If there is no risk in life what is point in living.

    There is still a risk in using/having a pacemaker; they are not full-proof. And even if the individual avoids all known risks involving their new life style, there is no guarantee that a pacemaker or any other device will be 100% effect at 100% of the time.

    Regardless of anything else, there will be new exploits regardless of what security measures are built-in, because everything has to have some level of usability. If you wanted your computer to be completely secure unplug it and then destroy it, then there is not question about the security risk.

    The real problem is that some people think that we can become immortal through our own creations. Quality of life should not be measured by time alone.

  2. Oh no, another exploit on Hacking a Pacemaker · · Score: 0

    What a surprise that you can hack something that has electronics?

    If there is a will there is a way.
