Barnaby Jack Was Right: Cheney Admits His Pacemaker was Disabled to Prevent AssassinationChris Carrington He was a day or so away from presenting his findings: Implantable medical Devices: Hacking humans at the Black Hat Event in Las Vegas when he died. Jack had discovered that medical devices such as insulin pumps and heart pacemakers could be hacked from a considerable distance, causing the pumps to dispense fatal doses of the drug and pacemakers to malfunction seriously enough to stop the wearers heart. The presentation was to explain to companies the vulnerabilities of such devices and how they could be improved to prevent tampering.

No cause has been given regarding the death of Barnaby Jack. Surprising for an apparently healthy 35 year old. I can find no comment from his family, or friends regarding his untimely demise, and the coroners office has thus far released no details of autopsy findings into the public domain.
