“Scientists Work to Keep Hackers Out of Implanted Medical Devices” Justin Fisher

Summery of this article Computer scientist figured out that it is possible for someone to hack a person’s electrical medical implant. This effects insulin pumps, pacemakers, and cardiac defibrillators, all of which emit wireless signals. Computer scientist are debating different solutions for security on these devices.

Issues In The Article ACM Code- 1.1 Contribute to society and human well being, – The principal obligates computer scientist to protect the quality of life of all people, including threats to health and safety. – When designing or implementing systems, computer scientist must ensure that the products that their efforts will be used in a social responsible ways, will meet social needs, and will avoid harmful effects to health and welfare.

Issues In The Article ACM Code- 1.2 Avoid harm to others – “Harm” means, among other things injury or negative consequences, such as loss of property, property damage, or more simply the harm of an actual person.

Issues in The Article ACM code- 1.3 Be honest and trustworthy – The computing professional will not make deliberately false or deceptive claims about a system or system design, but will instead provide full disclosure of all pertinent system limitations and problems.

Conclusion I believe that this article was published to inform the computing world about the problems and possible solutions to this manner. Or possibly get others thinking and interested in the cause at hand.
