re: #19 Vicious Babushka

Dick Cheney was afraid hackers would hack his pacemaker and kill him.

Could Terrorists Have Hacked Dick Cheney’s ICD?

I asked three experienced electrophysiologists- the cardiologists who implant ICDs- whether this was a realistic concern. The short answer is that this has never happened in the real world but that it’s impossible to rule out the possibility. So perhaps Cheney and his doctors weren’t paranoid, just excessively careful.
