Can’t hack a pace maker, they are not online. The only way to access one is through a land line or a high voltage electrical charge(such as a defibrillator)applied directly to the person’s body.
Ok, high voltage micro waves might work also but only at close range, and even then it is not a sure thing, most pace makers are immune to micro waves.
Incorrect. Implantable pacemakers and cardioverters are interrogated and programmed via an external telemetric link with a handheld programmer. Protection circuitry inside of the unit shunts the energy induced into the pacing leads to the case. The FDA requires that pacemakers withstand defib and ESU discharges. In fact an implantable cardioverter combines a pacemaker with a defibrillator. Also, during the validation process the implantable undergoes emissions and susceptibility testing and all pacers must revert to a known safe state if it encounters a strong discharge or electromagnetic field.
