Hacking threat to pacemaker

Hacking is now made possible in each and every field. It has continued to thwart each user by spoiling their work. We have seen a method being developed to steal the encrypted information on the computer hard disks. Hacking has shaken even the mobile field with the penetration via MMS. It has been found that malicious hackers can even attack pacemakers attached to the heart and shut it down. This astounding discovery was made by a group of scientists who obtained wireless access to a combination defibrillator-pacemaker. Most conspicuous aspect of this discovery is that they can not only shut it down but also can force it to nudge electric shocks that could prove to be fatal to the patient. However it was proved that the devices that helped to carry on this task are not impervious to hackers. The factor that could relieve the patient is that the device needed for this attack on the pacemaker is very costly and thus the hackers could not afford it to penetrate the electronic implants.
