Friendly reminder that pacemakers can and do get hacked
They usually have no security at all though for some reason, maybe for the same reason viruses spread like crazy in the early days of the internet, people didn't consider that and assumed everyone was acting in good faith
Making a secure device isn't reeeally that hard these days, as long as you don't also have to consider physical access (which, if someone has access to physically probe the chip in your brain, you have bigger problems)
Security is an illusion a determined hacker will get into the brain chip
