A computer hacker who gained cult status across the internet after revealing how to hack cash machines has been found a week before he was due to demonstrate how to kill someone by hacking their pacemaker.
The body of Barnaby Jack was found in San Francisco yesterday. The city's medical examiner's office would not give any further details.
Jack, a security expert, became one of the most famous hackers on the planet after a 2010 demonstration in which he forced ATMs to spit out cash, dubbed 'Jackpotting'.

Not a word about the circumstances leading to his death. Was he found in his Hotel room? Did he drive a BMW? No details at all. Makes you wonder.

I wonder if he could hack a Mercedes speeding southbound toward LAX at 4:30am.

I wonder if he could hack a Mercedes speeding southbound toward LAX at 4:30am. You think the NSA (or others) are tying up loose ends?

What a boon to Obamacare death panels... pacemakers with an expiration date. If you are too old and outlived your statistical usefulness to society they shut off your pacemaker.

Let’s hope that all of his ilk have the same happy ending.

They’re perfecting the craft.
It’s only a matter of time before those of us who use PKI, SSL, private email, and TOR are subjected to the same things.
It’s about control. It’s always about control.
