βA small computer is keeping me alive.β
The Chancellor has promised hundreds of millions more would be spent defending Britain from attack on its critical computer systems.
But what if the system you were trying to defend was inaccessible, what if you weren't allowed to examine its computer code?
For Norwegian computer security expert Marie Moe this is a reality. She had a pacemaker fitted after collapsing at work and, speaking to PM, she said sheβs worried about it being hacked:
βItβs a computer running my heart so I really have to trust this computer and itβs a little bit hard for me because I donβt have any way of looking at the software running on this deviceβ she told Chris Vallance.
Marie is calling for more research to be done into the risks of hacking pacemakers.
