In a recent blog, he said: ‘The only particular aspect of the hack was the distance in which the attack was carried out to the victim. It could be done in same building or have a device to transmit the signals to the victim. He told that some pacemakers could be ordered release a deadly 830-volt shock from anyone on a laptop up to 50ft distance. He said it was the result of poor software programming by medical device companies.
