[Diabetes-talk] Diabetic pump Malware

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

This only pertains to people using the remote device for the pump, which is
not accessible at all. I use an Animas Ping but not the remote.

Thanks for sharing though.

> Johnson & Johnson is warning patients that a vulnerability in one of its
insulin pumps could be exploited to alter dosages. J&J learned of the issue
affecting their Animas OneTouch Ping device from Jay Radcliffe in April
2016. The vulnerability lies in the communication between a wireless remote
control for the device that allows setting changes; that traffic is not
encrypted and could be intercepted. In their letter to patients, J&J suggest
several measures to guard against attacks.
