Patients don't want to have to enter passwords constantly or adopt security measures

Paul, the diabetic who is concerned about his insulin pump, said researchers face many challenges in making medical devices more secure. Patients don't want to have to enter passwords constantly or adopt security measures that would make daily tasks inconvenient, he said. But with cooperation and increased awareness, he said the security gap can be closed.

Maisel listed some possible scenarios in his New England Journal article. "Motivation for such actions might include the acquisition of private information for financial gain or competitive advantage; damage to a device manufacturer's reputation; sabotage by a disgruntled employee, dissatisfied customer or terrorist to inflict financial or personal injury; or simply the satisfaction of the attacker's ego," he wrote.

Tony Parker de San Antonio keeps playing harder But he needs more for thre playoffs

Researchers urged people who use wireless medical devices not to panic. While security threats to medical devices theoretically exist, there have been no documented cases of wireless attacks on medical devices, the researchers said in papers and interviews. The real concern will come when these devices are further connected -- to phones, the Internet and other computers, said Kevin Fu, an assistant professor of computer science at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

You need to have a look at Encryption is a type of signal scrambling that is, for example

These signals vary in range and openness. Researchers who reported hacking into a defibrillator said some in-the-body devices have a wireless range of about 15 feet. Many devices do not have encrypted signals to ward off attack, the researchers say. Encryption is a type of signal scrambling that is, for example, employed on many home Wi-Fi routers to prevent unknown people from accessing the network.

The security concerns stem from the fact that pacemakers, defibrillators and insulin pumps

The company is aware of potential security risks to implanted medical devices, she said. "Safety is an integral part of our design and quality process. We're constantly evolving and improving our technologies." In a written statement, Dougherty described the risk of someone hacking into a wireless medical device as "extremely low."
