Researchers have found thousands of vulnerabilities in Pacemakers that hackers could exploit. Researchers from security firm White Scope analysed seven pacemaker products from four vendors and discovered that they use more than 300 third-party libraries, 174 of which are known to have over 8,600 vulnerabilities. Researchers discovered unencrypted patients’ data stored on the pacemaker programmers, including names, phone numbers, medical information and Social Security numbers. All of the programmers examined by the security firm had outdated software with known vulnerabilities, many of which run Windows XP.
