"Reports Finds IoT Devices Host Social Media Apps, FDA-Recalled Platforms"

Researchers analyzed more than 5 million Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), and unmanaged devices used in healthcare, life sciences, manufacturing, and retail sectors between June 2019 and June 2020. Diagnostic medical imaging devices, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) machines, were discovered to be running social media platforms such as Facebook. They also found that almost 20% of medical devices are running on unsupported Windows platforms. The ability to surf the internet using medical devices and the continued use of legacy platforms to run these devices pose a significant threat to healthcare organizations' security. This article continues to discuss findings regarding the vulnerability of IoT, IoMT, and unmanaged devices to cyberattacks.
