"Secure ‘Internet-of-Body’ Could Protect Medical Devices from DHS-Warned Cyberattacks"

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently issued warnings pertaining to the vulnerability of implantable defibrillators, made by Medtronic PLC, to being hacked. Medtronic devices are vulnerable to cyberattacks because of the poor encryption of signals emitted by these devices. A prototype device has been developed by researchers at Purdue University to prevent signals produced by medical devices from radiating outwards. This article continues to discuss the susceptibility of Medtronic devices to being hacked and the prototype device built by researchers to keep signals within the human body.
