We know medical devices are exposed to the Internet both directly and indirectly, so just how hard is it to take it to the next step in an attack and gain remote administrative access to these critical life saving devices? This talk will discuss over 30 CVEs Scott has reported over the last few years that will demonstrate how an attacker can gain remote administrative access to medical devices and supporting systems. Over 100 remote service and support credentials for medical devices will be presented.
So is an attack against medical devices a reality or just a myth? Now that we know these devices have Internet facing exposure and are vulnerable to exploit, are they being targeted? Scott and Adam will discuss six months of medical device honeypot research, showing the implications of these patient care devices increasing their connectivity and steps that can be taken to reduce risk associated with these life saving devices.
