Are hackers attacking medical implants?

This means that smartphones could soon be able to manage devices such as pacemakers and insulin pumps very easily and conveniently.
The therapy method from the field of functional neurosurgery is called deep brain stimulation (DBS). It involves sending electrical impulses to the brain to relieve symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, chronic pain, depression, tremors or other medical disorders.
Once these devices are connected to the Internet, they can give rise to threats known as “brainjacking.” If an attacker then succeeds in cracking a device’s previously inadequate security measures, he has several options for manipulating his victim’s implant. In this way, hackers are able to control a person’s behavior.

It is also helpful to have a low transmission power, which can only be received when there is direct contact.
