If you read the paper carefully you'll see they have to be less than 5 centimeters from the device to make the connection. That means someone has to be standing in front, or behind you, with a sensing device placed upon your chest. The connection is inductive, to connect outside of the 5cm limit would require exponentially more power. I don't think anyone would survive the power source, let alone have a actively functioning device. They were very careful to hide the truth in the article, and the really funny part is one of the morons received $449,000 dollars for this "discovery". In simple terms they committed a replay attack, but again remember less than 5 centimeters.<br><br>Simple answer is they are going to become famous because the press exaggerates to sell papers, and the researchers don't have the intelligence, or the morals, to correct them.

It isn't ignorance is bliss. You see now both sides know. Is it worth telling the bad guys to keep the good guys informed?

To put it into a metaphor, it would be like telling everyone in town that your door's unlocked. Not everyone is a killer, sure, but it only takes one.

As far as the “skill and access” thing goes. They may be low, but one person can do a lot of damage. Especially if this attack can be done remotely to more than one pacemaker at a time.
