For those who don't know, Barnaby was a kiwi born hacker who died a week before he was to address
a Las Vegas hacking conference on how to hack into pacemakers and defibrillators.
Lacking any details about his very untimely death has led to conspiracy theories to abound.

Some have even linked Jack's death to Buzzfeed journalist Michael Hastings, who died in a car crash in June while he was allegedly working on a story about the CIA.
In 2010 Barnaby demonstrated hacking ATM machines at the same Black Hat conference. In the doco below he demonstrates the hack. (42:35)
