The article describes how over the last decade, medical implants have become increasingly interconnected to each other and the internet. While this provides a slue of benefits for both patient and doctor, it also provides a new array of problems such as hacking. They also provide a brief look into some of the actions being taken to prevent such attacks and ease the minds of the shareholders.

This article looks to be very beneficial to me as the abstract alone confirms my thoughts of pacemakers being susceptible to hacking. In addition to this the article shows a few things that the medical community has been doing to fix this issue.

In short, an article like this can be at the forefront of my argument to being some attention to a problem that I feel a majority of people don’t know exists until it happens to them. Knowing for fact that hacking medical implants is an ongoing issue now only solidifies my theory that it will be a major focus in the near future as medical technology continues to grow.
