Barnaby Michael Douglas Jack (22 November 1977 – 25 July 2013) was a New Zealand hacker, programmer and computer security expert.[1] He was known for his presentation at the Black Hat computer security conference in 2010, during which he exploited two ATMs and made them dispense fake paper currency on the stage.[2] Among his other most notable works were the exploitation of various medical devices, including pacemakers and insulin pumps.[3]

Jack was known among industry experts for his influence in the medical and financial security fields.[4] In 2012 his testimony led the United States Food And Drug Administration to change regulations regarding wireless medical devices.[4] At the time of his death, Jack was Director of Embedded Device Security at IOActive.[5][6]
