Security hole in Hospira hospital drug pumps could let through fatal doses
by Lisa Vaas on June 10, 2015
Just last month, we wrote about an entry in the National Vulnerability Database that highlighted flaws in a range of drug infusion pumps.
It seems that well-known security researcher Billy (BK) Rios has been looking at how to exploit infusion pumps, too.
...
Rios had, back in May 2014, recommended that Hospira analyze other models of its infusion pumps to see if they shared the same vulnerabilities with the ones he had tested, but five months later, he heard that the company was "not interested in verifying that other pumps are vulnerable."
So Rios went out and picked up other Hospira pump models with the same firmware as the PCA.
