A couple of weeks ago I received the printed version of "The Institute" newspaper from IEEE. Although not fresh news (I found some headlines dated March 13, 2008), there is an interesting article titled "hacking hearts" about the "hackability" of the human heart defibrillators.
Back in May the IEEE held a Symposium about privacy & security, and the topic of security of defibrillators was deeply discussed, "The researchers tricked the defibrillator into responding to their signals by recording a real device programmer talking electronically to a defibrillator, then replaying the signals wirelessly back to the defibrillator."
Were you concerned about your car's bluetooth connectivity?, what about this?
