The chips are connected to the neural processor, whish is going to be hooked into the connection. My printer isn't hooked up to the net, but my computer is, and my printer is hooked up to that. It can potentially be controlled remotely this way.
Why would the neural processor be connected online? The only thing that would be hooked online is maybe a the times square marquees news feed, but even then it would be like trying to hack a car via it's car stereo... you are just going to be hacking the stereo... sure you could make the next few seconds really annoying for the user, but they will just turn it off...
Sure, when the user is directly interfacing via a cybermodem, at that point you could maybe mess with a few things, but even then it's not going to do you much good, and you would be better served at that point just sending feedback through the connection and burning them out.... IE net combat. Because as soon as they disconnect from the net, they will just be able to remove or clean the parts you ahve messed with.
And, as I have already said, there is a good chance that the method of data storage and transferal in 2077 will be different from 2020. We will have to wait and see how close they follow 2020.
You are thinking it's not only going to be vastly different from 2020, but also vastly different from real life it seems.
As I said:
And, I was against cyberwear hacking. But the more I have thought about it, the more I think there is 'potential' in the overall plan.
I am NOT suggesting hack induced heart attacks. I am NOT suggesting forcing anyone to punch themselves.
I am suggesting disruptiona
If you disrupt the functioning of a heart, you ARE inducing a heart attack, or at the very least serious palpitations. If you disrupt an arm, in a combat situation, you might as well be making them punch themselves. Once you can get in, you can get it... the point I am making is that you shouldn't be able to get in in the first place., because tht is a pretty serious flaw in cyber design... one that YOU aren't going to be the first person to have discovered, and the flaw would be quickly corrected long before you come around. In a world with Rache Batrmoss's and Alt Cunninghams, who have already crashed world wide society and economics once and spawned a great many followers, do you really think manufacturers are going to purposely leave open such an obvious risk to the security of their products? To the lawsuits that would come quickly and devastatingly en masse?
If you want to disrupt them, hit them with EMP, or an electrical attack.
