Have you been looking for that special gross-out prop for Halloween? I think you might have just found it. It’s not a cockroach, but it does have a shitload more legs. $27.

Kevin Fu, an associate professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and his team have been working with pacemakers for quite some time. Having reverse engineered a pacemaker, the team found a frightening loop hole. It turns out that a built-in test mechanism for the device includes a bug that can be exploited by hackers.

There is no cryptographic key used to secure the wireless communication between the control device and the pacemaker. This makes it real easy to build your own wireless device that can control the pacemaker. And by “control the pacemaker,” I mean shut it off. Hopefully, this discovery will lead to defense mechanisms put in place that’ll defend those who wear a pacemaker from any remote attack on their heart. Until then, you might want to keep your pacemaker on the DL.

It’s not surprise your house is bugged by the CIA. After all, you did conspire with Colonel Sanders on a dirty bomb made from re-fried mac and cheese. Right now you’re in a tight place and every word you say can be used against you when you’re getting fucked hard by a judge. Avoid doing hard time with this $70 Laser Surveillance Defeater. Slap one to your window and people listening in won’t be able to hear anything thanks to jamming frequencies made specifically for long-distance microphones.

You can always save the $70 but you’ll be dead within the hour. Make haste!
