BALTIMORE (WBFF) — Hospital patients could be vulnerable to a cyber-attack, health according to report from a Baltimore security firm.
Independent Security Evaluators spent two years identifying weaknesses at a dozen hospitals across the nation including some in Baltimore and Washington. The group found vulnerabilities that, in the wrong hands, could hurt patients and potentially kill them.
In a 71-page report titled ‘Securing Hospitals,’ researchers claimed they were able to manipulate vital signs monitors and change medical doses.
