In recent times, we’ve witnessed cyberattacks targeting government agencies, corporate networks, mobile systems, and software supply chains. However, the conversation on tech platforms like Reddit is now shifting from material concerns to the human body itself.
Some cybersecurity experts are predicting an emerging form of cyber warfare that could directly involve human bodies. While this might sound like science fiction, the concept of bio-hacking is becoming more plausible as individuals experiment with implanting silicon chips into their brains and other body parts such as hands, legs, and spines.
This scenario might resemble something from a futuristic Terminator movie, but the reality is that chip implants in humans could potentially facilitate espionage and cyber-attacks akin to those we’ve observed online.
A new term gaining traction on social media platforms like X and Facebook is “TransHumanist.” This term is unrelated to the ongoing debates about transgender athletes in women’s sports. Instead, a Transhumanist is someone who enhances their human abilities through advanced technology. This includes integrating silicone implants with NFC and RFID capabilities to extend human capacities beyond their natural limits.
Think of it as a concept similar to the latest Universal Soldier series, where deceased bodies are revived and controlled with liquid chemicals and silicon wafers to perform in extreme conditions, overcoming significant mental and physical stress.
Examples of this technology include the low-profile exoskeletons developed by Raytheon ( now RTX Corporation) with funding from the US Army, and the much-discussed Neuralink and Synchron, where AI chips are used to potentially control human cognition and grant enhanced abilities.
