Insulin Pump Vulnerable to Hacking, Johnson & Johnson Warns

This article details that healthcare conglomerate Johnson & Johnson has learned of a cybersecurity bug in one of its insulin pumps. The Animas OneTouch Ping pump can be exploited to overdose diabetic patients with insulin. The device is sold with a wireless remote control that patients can use to order the pump to dose insulin. 

Johnson & Johnson has stated that the hacking risk is low, and the hacker would have to be less than 25 feet away from the device in order to control the device. Despite this, the Company issued several preventative measures for its patients to use. In addition, J&J has stated that newer pumps are equipped with more security.
