Hack will be the memory of people!
Hack will be the memory of people!
Imagine you are scrolling through your memories like a newsfeed on Facebook. Seeing in detail the favorite moments of life or bringing back memories of loved ones.
Now imagine an anarchic future where hackers have hijacked your memories and threatened to erase them without paying. It may seem like a harrowing story, but situations like this can happen faster than you can imagine.
Think about the brain!
Advances in neuro technology have already taken us closer to the opportunity by which we can increase our memory or memory. And maybe within a few decades we will be able to sort or interpret or rewrite the memory as our own.
The vigorous use of this technology for brain restoration may become commonplace for brain surgeons.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is used in about one million people worldwide to cope with some problems. They include Parkinson's to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Such a cure may also be used to control diabetes or obesity.
Various technologies such as depression, amnesia, or Tourette Syndrome are being tested to treat such mental disorders. And while these methods are still in the early stages, researchers are trying to figure out how to recover from an injury or an illness that causes memory loss.
Mental Superpower.
Lori Pycroft, a researcher in the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences at the University of Oxford, mentions some future deadlines. "I wouldn't be surprised if things like commercial restoration happen in the next ten years," he says.
For him, over the next 20 years, the technology may be able to capture the signals that make up memory or memory. And in the middle of this century, Pycroft believed that the ability to control memory would be lost.
Brainjacking
But if this control is in the wrong hands, the consequences can be very bad, said Lori Pycroft. Imagine that a hacker learned the neurostimulator formula of a Parkinson's patient and arranged it for himself. Then he can affect the patient's thinking and behavior or cripple him. A hacker might want to settle money by demanding the Dark Web, and if it doesn't, it could threaten to erase all memories or create new memories. In 2002, researchers at Oxford University and the University of California at Berkeley discovered brainwave information from a popular gaming device, such as a bank card pin number, on the headset.
Unauthorized access
Hacking a medical device that is connected to the Internet is not at all the point in the story. In the event of the 25th, US authorities considered 100,000 cyber security threats to be returned. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the country, unscrupulous people could increase the risk of death by controlling the device, changing the speed of the device or controlling the pacemaker's battery. Although there were no accident services, the FDA says medical devices are constantly connected to the Internet with hospital databases or other medical devices or smartphones. At the same time, the risk of cyber crime is increasing.
This is the problem for many clinicians, and Kaspersky thinks that in the future, many more devices will be connected in such a way and that they can be controlled with a remote device. In the event of an emergency, only a doctor will be called.
Cyber Defense
Fortunately with the awareness of cybersecurity, medical devices are being designed and planned in a way that can reduce the risk.
But Mr. According to Galve, the most important aspect is that patients and medical personnel should be trained in a way that they can exercise caution. This can be a powerful password setting. But the real problem is that it is not possible to ask a physician to become a cyber security expert.
