This Great Risk Shift from governments and corporations to individuals, as Yale political scientist Jacob Hacker labeled it in the title of another book on the subject, has become one of the defining economic realities of our age.

...Harvard Medical School (HMS) study released last week shows that Implantable Medical Devices (IMD), such as pacemakers, could be high-risk targets for hackers. Researchers from the University of Massachusetts, University of Washington, Beth-Israel Deaconess Hospital, and Harvard Medical School found that hackers could intercept patient information and reprogram the device, potentially endangering the patient by sending additional electrical signals to the heart. The researchers presented their findings last Wednesday, in anticipation of the publication of their paper, “Pacemakers and Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators: Software Radio Attacks and Zero-Power Defenses.” The study focused...
...students, including 6,600 Social Security numbers and 500 Harvard ID numbers, the University said yesterday. According to the University’s Chief Information Officer Daniel D. Moriarty, when Harvard realized after a preliminary scan of the disseminated information that “the same methods that the hacker used could have exposed other data,” they began cataloguing the rest of the server’s contents. “Regrettably, that’s when we found this sensitive information,” he said. “Those initial scans did not find...
