[Year] April 2014 [Description] When Scott Erven was given free rein to roam through all of the medical equipment used at a large chain of Midwest health care facilities, he knew he would find security problemsbut he wasnt prepared for just how bad it would be. In a study spanning two years, Erven and his team found drug infusion pumpsfor delivering morphine drips, chemotherapy and antibioticsthat can be remotely manipulated to change the dosage doled out to patients; Bluetooth-enabled defibrillators that can be manipulated to deliver random shocks to a patients heart or prevent a medically needed shock from occurring; X-rays that can be accessed by outsiders lurking on a hospitals network; temperature settings on refrigerators storing blood and drugs that can be reset, causing spoilage; and digital medical records that can be altered to cause physicians to misdiagnose, prescribe the wrong drugs or administer unwarranted care.
