    Hacker of hackers was set to give a speech on how you can "hack humans" i.e. kill someone from 300 feet away by hacking into his/her pacemaker or other implanted medical devices.

    Barnaby Jack explored the idea after it was broached on the TV show Homeland.

    He was 35.

    Yeah, the idea was "cook something in the microwave while Gramps sidles in."

    Oh shit, I said too much.
