...Harvard Medical School (HMS) study released last week shows that Implantable Medical Devices (IMD), such as pacemakers, could be high-risk targets for hackers. Researchers from the University of Massachusetts, University of Washington, Beth-Israel Deaconess Hospital, and Harvard Medical School found that hackers could intercept patient information and reprogram the device, potentially endangering the patient by sending additional electrical signals to the heart. The researchers presented their findings last Wednesday, in anticipation of the publication of their paper, “Pacemakers and Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators: Software Radio Attacks and Zero-Power Defenses.” The study focused...
