Disturbing - A Side of Computeres I Have Never Even Thought Of.

I have to say, I find this quite disturbing.  Essentially what is being said in this presentation is that any computer can be hacked.  There have been implanted medical devices for years, but in 2006 they started being controlled wirelessly so that of course you don't have to do surgery every time you want to upgrade or repair the device etc..  Well, as you can imagine these devices are now susceptible to hackers.   Researchers have successfully done things like stop pace makers.  YIKES!!

They also talk about cars and the ability to hack a car's wireless network and do things like apply the brakes, disable the brakes, show the car going slower on the speedometer than it really was going.  WOW!  Also able to wirelessly unlock the car, start the car and then walk up and steal the car.  This is indeed some crazy stuff!
