Researcher Names Insulin Pump Products Vulnerable To Hack

At least four models of insulin pumps sold by Medtronic are vulnerable to being wirelessly hacked. An attacker could remotely disable the pumps or manipulate every setting, including the insulin dosage that’s automatically delivered every three minutes. Attacker Jerome Radcliffe demonstrated the pump vulnerability earlier this month at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas. Executing the attack required less than 60 seconds, and would work from up to 100 feet away using Radcliffe’s demonstration setup. With some modifications, he said, an attack could be made to work from half a mile away.”]
