Neural Implants: Could Brains be Hacked for Ransom?

[Logethica]

A Future With Neural Implants Means Hackers Can Remote-Control Your Brain:

"Give us $10,000 or you're toast."
You can hear the voice clearly, but there's no one in your house. It's coming from inside your head. From your neural implant, to be exact. Hackers.
"We've infected your brain chip with ransomware, and if you don't pay up, we'll fry your gray matter."

This future scenario isn't so far-fetched...

Enter the neural implant, a wireless electronic device connected directly to the brain..

"Hackers are hacking other hackers and preventing their ransomware from working," Dr. Mansur Hasib, Program Chair of the Graduate Cybersecurity Technology program in the Graduate School at University of Maryland University College, said in a phone call. "Ransomware right now is a huge profitable industry. Think about a ransomware hacker hacking into one of these things: 'Hey, if you don't give me so much money, basically we're going to mess your brain up or fry your brain or stop your implantable device from working.'"..

Who cares , you will have a backup to transfer your neural schematics in a cloned body of yours

Maybe replacing a Spare Clone(s) lying in the house would avert this problem.

I feel stink cause I don't have the bandwidth to upload my soul just yet and if I did I would probably run sfc /scannow and Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth commands over my soul before the upload , and then I of course would love a cyclic redundancy check to just be sure in the end

....yes... the future of this planet and of everyone of us (7 billion people on this planet?): "we have full control over your brain"

@ TwinHeadedEagle :
"pls remove malware from my brain"
answer: "i need to format your brain"

.... create a full image of your brain and also an image of the start/system partition of your brain
and backup all personal data that are stored in you brain...
...."pay or we will erase everythin in you brain"
....Remote control over your machine? ....over your head !
....root access to your brain? ....yes, no problem!

<root> "start eating this car"
<root> "start eating this litter"

On the other hand imagine benevolent hacker hacking these 7 billion brains and making them do something useful.

Whole new angle on "using the old grey matter"!

Thanks for the post

I can remember have seen in a famous TV show (24) somebody killing its target with a remote access to its peacemaker.

On the other hand imagine benevolent hacker hacking these 7 billion brains and making them do something useful.

First, it made me laugh,
just after, it made me meditate,
and at the end, it made me agree with you

I think @MT forum will available to be Brain-loaded from Brain_it-Hub so that we can use connected standby mode to fetch and post messages.
