The hacking wizard dies a few days before he could address hacking and security professionals at the Black Hat convention. The words,”Sometimes you have to demonstrate the darker side,’ uttered by Barnaby Jack to defend his computer-hacking proficiency speaks about his sudden death. Jack made a lot of revelations and that is the reason why people are suspicious when he sudden death a few days before he could address this convention. These is what one of the security professional at the Black Hat convention on computer-hacking in Las Vegas said. Even,previously similar demonstrations attracted huge audiences and won him fame and name. In 2012, in Melbourne, Australia, Jack delivered a big blow to a pacemaker by logging into it remotely. He warned of the possible consequences and said high-profile individuals are likely to be a targeted. Wireless technology is used in numberless medical devices and their security authorization was designed to be bypassed easily, for it is regularly necessary for them to be broken by any doctor in an emergency. Jack was going to demonstrate before an audience of hackers and cyber security whizzes at Caesar’s Palace to the Black Hat convention named ‘Implantable medical devices: hacking humans’ how he could hack into medical devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators as a hacker . He was due to show how he could trigger a deadly power surge and kill someone from up to 50ft away by using a wireless transmitter. A pacemaker is a small battery-powered device implanted in the chest, which regulates the beating of the heart by sending regular electrical pulses to the heart muscles. Modern versions are controlled from small external computers. Sir Elton John, Sir David Attenborough, and former U.S. Vice-president Dick Cheney and former German chancellor Helmut Schmidt are some of the famous personalities who wear pacemakers . According to Jack it was highly conceivable that a terrorist could kill its important targeted personalities by hacking into their pacemaker and increase their heartbeat till they become dead. And it was possible to infect the pacemaker companies’ servers with a bug that would go viral through their systems just like a virus. In the U.S. nearly five million people , more than 500,000 in Britain,are implanted with pacemakers and defibrillators. And Jack’s trick was considered as a hypothetically revolutionary eye-opener for all..
