A key technology that hospitals use to deliver medications, blood and other vital lab samples are at significant risk of hacking, new findings suggest. Researchers from the security vendor Armis found nine critical vulnerabilities in the control panel that powers the Translogic pneumatic tube systems from logistics automation company Swisslog Healthcare. The Translogic pneumatic tube system is used by more than 3,000 hospitals worldwide and over 80% of hospitals in North America, according to a report published Monday. Researchers warn that the vulnerability could be used to launch a ransomware attack against the delivery system, crippling hospital functions. Hackers could also use such access to leak sensitive medical data. There’s no evidence attackers have exploited the software issue for their own gain. Ransomware attacks against hospitals have risen dramatically in recent years, costing organizations millions of dollars and sometimes crippling emergency care. Five of the vulnerabilities, which researchers have collectively […]
