I have seen some places here and there that mention hacking cyberwere. I can see hacking some ones implanted comlink if it was on, but what could you really do with it.

-- you could access feeds from senseware.
-- mess with what some one see and hears through sound and vision links.
-- normal comlink hacking.
-- hack things the user has connected to his comlink

This all makes sense, but it seems like this could be streched to far. Shouldn't most cyberware be using a DNI, direct neural interface, and shouldn't a DNI be uneffcted by hacking. You shouldn't be able to choke someone to death with there own arm just because you hacked there comlink.

so I guess the questions are:

-- What is an implanted com really connected to.
-- Couldn't the comlink be setup to only accept commands from the DNI of the user. aka trusted computer system.
-- How hard is it to hack a skinlink network.

I am not sure how hacking some ones body would work, but I do know that any comlink I get will have and external power switch so I can turn the thing off if things go bad.
