I weren't quite sure where to post this thread coz it ain't quite one thing or the other, could be seen as Technology, Big brother, Pharmaceutical, Security, Finance, Cover ups, so I decided to play it safe and bung it in General.

In case you don't know who Barnaby Jack is/was, he was a hacker and security agent, he worked for companies as a security adviser, he's famous as being the guy who was able to make cash machines pay out live on stage by hacking the security system, he quite recently before his death was working on a project that exposed security flaws in pace makers and insulin injectors, this means that by hacking the wireless systems of those devices he was able to show how they could be interfered with, cause all the insulin to be expelled from the injector system in one go, or in the case of pacemakers change the operation system, or switch them on/off. (both of which likely fatal)

One thing for sure it would have cost millions to recover all these devices and then to secure them to the standard of security needed.

Apparently Barnaby Jack had been planning to expose these security flaws live on stage too at the upcoming black hat convention.

I guess he fucked with banksters, pharmaceutical companies, and the general operations of security that effect the state.
That's three groups that he could have easily been bumped off for 'exposing/fucking' with.


So, after some amount of suspicion a conclusion/cause of death was announced, I'm a bit annoyed with myself for missing the story at the time of the autopsy report was released..... I'd let it slip under my radar.....

However it appears to be ''A world-renowned hacker, who died in San Francisco in July, overdosed on a mix of heroin, cocaine and other drugs, a coroner's report shows''

Personally I don't see it.... www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-25598791



Any info would be appreciated.
This is where my bottom line would be if it existed.

So the "overdose" of Barnaby Jack follows the "suicide" of Aaron Swartz and the "accident" of Michael Hastings.
thank you St Jude for favours granted

An autopsy carried out after his death, released last week, concluded that Jack died of a multi-drug overdose including a mix of heroin and cocaine as well as prescription drugs – specifically, diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and alprazolam (Xanax). His girlfriend found him lying in bed and unresponsive, surrounded by beer and champagne bottles, when she returned home in the evening. Subsequent efforts to revive Jack proved unsuccessful and paramedics confirmed his death at the scene.

(including a link to the autopsy report)

It doesn't seem right to me that a highly intelligent person would accidently top themselves by overdosing.


Similar case... ''The discovery of Uwe Barschel dead in the bathtub of Room 317 of Geneva’s swank Hotel Beau-Rivage on October 11, 1987, brought to close the career of one of West Germany’s most promising young politicians. It also began one of the most sensational unsolved mysteries in recent German history, involving corruption, dirty money, international espionage – and murder.

The circumstances of his demise were odd, to say the least. As scandal engulfed his career, Barschel made off for Gran Canaria to get away from it all, then headed for Geneva, though exactly why was never clear. His widow – who like the couple’s four children has insisted for a quarter-century that Barschel was murdered – claimed he had compromising material with him: papers, pictures, and the like, which could prove embarrassing to his enemies. Strictly speaking, the cause of death was never in doubt, as Barschel’s body, found oddly clothed in the bathtub, was a walking pharmacy, including a half-dozen drugs, among them heavy barbituates, antihistamines, sleep aids, and the like.

But from the beginning there were reasons to suspect that Barschel was not a suicide, besides the protestations of his family. There were indications that one or more persons other than Barschel had been in the room around the time of death, things were tossed about, and the position of the body seemed odd for a suicide. In November 2010, the family’s doubts – and over two decades of rumors - got scientific backing when the respected Swiss toxicologist Hans Brandenberger, an expert witness in many criminal cases, concluded after long examination that Barschel indeed had been murdered, citing the fact that some of the drugs found in the room and/or the body were virtually impossible for a normal person to obtain, and the likely force-fed cocktail was an almost ideal death combination to kill quietly. This, he concluded, was a professional hit''

Taking an overdose isn't necessarily intended. It's much more common where substances are mixed as in Jack's case.

An accidental drug overdose caused the untimely death of elite hacker Barnaby Jack, an autopsy has concluded.
www.theregister.co.uk/2014/01/07/barnaby...lt_accidental_death/

What I'm saying is an intelligent person, who is already working on topics relating to 'death drug overdose' going to take a binge of four types of drug, bottles of champagne & beer, and not recognise a huge health risk?


I'm not saying that it's impossible that it was just an accident, it's just very fishy that he had a presentation in the near future that exposes the health risks posed by pharmaceutical companies, and then he had an accidental death just prior to this, that was caused by pharmaceutical 'accidental' overdosing :think:
This is where my bottom line would be if it existed.

Lots of intelligent people manage to overdose themselves. Even ones who are really clued up on substance abuse. I've foolishly mixed stuff I shouldn't have and ended up in a bit of a mess. if you mix uppers & downers like that it will fuck with your heart.
Not saying it's impossible that there was a plot to kill him.... but as I understood it, he worked for corporations to expose flaws in their security to help them identify risks. Obviously if he's exposing stuff that people like big pharma don't want exposing, such as flaws in pacemakers that will cost them billions to recall, then there is obviously a motive.... but is there any more evidence of that being the case other than establishing a possible motive?
I like the stuff he did with the atm.... jackpot! I'd like to be able to do that! But wasn't that in itself enough to get him killed? That would now surely cause all atms to need reprogramming and have much greater security at a very hefty cost.

Was he the guy that paranoid nut Cheney had bumped off for allegedly interfering with his pacemaker ?
