"Crime scene: chamber fibrillation" from Zurich: Hacker attack hearts
Published on September 28, 2025
56 deaths in an attack - the tenth "crime scene" from Zurich marks a new record in the history of the series.So far, the Felix Murot episode "born in pain" has kept the "corpse record" of the "crime scene".Depending on the count, between 47 and 54 people died eleven years ago with wild shootings as in the western.But the current crime thriller "chamber fibrillation" does not staged a bloodbath, shows no murderer or killer in action.People just fall dead on the bike, jogging, walking.
Medical examinations show that all victims wore a so-called "ICD", an implanted "cardioverter defibrillator", which is controlled digitally and puts the heart into the right bar with short streams.But the ICDs of a certain company give up for five seconds long, fatal current surges.The investigators led by Isabelle Grandjean (Anna Pieri Zugercher) and Tessa Ott (Carol Schuler) seek the high -tech company and first learn about an update that apparently runs incorrectly.Then a blackmail email on the monitors pops up: the hackers demand astronomical sums in a cryptocurrency.
There is high alarm in the hospitals
The location is highly dramatic: because more than 2000 people carry the defibrillator with the manipulated software update and are in mortal danger.In view of the dimension, one is surprised that this "crime scene" does not show a high -ranking crisis team of the Swiss Ministry of Health, but only a handful of murder investigators who only try to understand what happens at all while more and more people die.Colleague Noah Löwenherz (Aaron Arens) moves into the front row.The technology expert explains to his bosses and the spectators how important release data of programs and suffixes of files are.However, the layperson does not quite understand why such a diffiz began technology should be so susceptible to simple cyber attacks.
The drama, conceived by André Küttel and Petra Ivanov, staged by Barbara Kulcsar, only begins to map his drama.The use of stated screens indicates the parallel of many players.There is high alarm in the hospitals.But the film stays at a distance from the victims, they are only numbers.Only a single fate is lifted out: Tessa Ott has learned that her mother (Babett Arens) also wears an affected ICD, but she recovers a lonely mountain hut and is not available.Therefore, she sends her father (Oscar Bingisser) on the trail of his ex -wife.So far, the origin of colleague Ott from a rich house had only been hinted at.The fact that this case is used to present your family seems something strange: privately in the Swiss “crime scene” is also about catastrophe.
The investigators not only deal with the dubious manufacturer, which has constantly undermined security regulations and whose chief programmer (Martin Vischer) does not seem to grow.On top of that, a young TV reporter (Annina Walt) increases the pressure from the outside, who penetrates the hospitals with the camera.On the one hand, the film criticizes the impending media hysteria.On the other hand, he himself fuels the growing skepticism of digitized high -tech medicine and contributes to uncertainty.After all, "chamber fibrillation" with a special resolution - the "floral duet" from Leo Delibes opera "Lakmé" provides relaxation.
