Barnaby Jack, 35, passed away in San Francisco last week. Jack was just 35 years old. His hacking demonstrations spotlighted the security vulnerabilities of machines ranging from ATMs to wireless heart defibrillators. Jack wanted his demonstrations to lead to improved medical device security practices. The benefits of using medical devices far outweigh the security risks, Jack stressed. “The last thing we want to do is for people to lose faith in these life-saving devices,” he said. Even without Jack’s grand showmanship, medical device makers, ATM manufacturers and other technology companies need to continue ramping up their cybersecurity vigilance.”]
