Movies about hackers and hacking are cool, but in the real world it can be bad news. Trust me, I know that not everyone that can and does hack is a baddie. Some of them do it just to show they can and then leave everything as is. But, there are always the guys on the other side of the line that like to cause chaos - or at least mischief. If I get malware or a virus on my PC, it’s a nuisance more than anything else. I’m not happy about it, but it’s not life or death. However, the one piece of technology that I rely on that IS life or death is my insulin pump. At the recent Black Hat conference it was revealed that you can hack an insulin pump. I can't exactly picture this happening to me or to anyone else for that matter, but it still makes me thinkg WTF?!
