Security researchers have discovered a software vulnerability that could allow an attacker to steal sensitive patient data from X-ray and MRI machines, or more than 100 models of General Electric medical devices. While there is no evidence that hackers have exploited the vulnerability for their own gain, the flaw points to the recurring issue of health care devices sending patient information over insecure channels. In this case, the maintenance software for the GE medical devices used publicly-exposed login credentials, which could allow attackers to execute code on the devices. “The bigger picture here is authentication and it’s a problem that’s unfortunately typical for medical devices,” said Elad Luz, a researcher at CyberMDX, the medical security company that publicly disclosed the vulnerability on Tuesday. Using the vulnerability to steal patient data would require a malicious hacker to first gain access to a health care organization’s computer network. Actually leveraging the bug […]

AWS today announced the launch of its newest GPU-equipped instances. Dubbed P4, these new instances are launching a decade after AWS launched its first set of Cluster GPU instances. This new generation is powered by Intel Cascade Lake processors and eight of NVIDIA’s A100 Tensor Core GPUs. These instances, AWS promises, offer up to 2.5x […] Continue reading AWS launches its next-gen GPU instances
Researchers have discovered six critical and high-risk vulnerabilities – collectively dubbed MDhex – affecting a number of patient monitoring devices manufactured by GE Healthcare. The flaws may, according to GE Healthcare, allow an attacke… Continue reading MDhex vulnerabilities open GE Healthcare patient monitoring devices to attackers
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s cybersecurity outfit on Thursday issued an alert about six flaws in popular health care devices that could affect device functionality, expose patients’ health information or create other vulnerabilities. DHS’ Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency detailed the six vulnerabilities, known collectively at “MDhex,” lurking in medical technology manufactured by GE Healthcare. The issues exist in GE’s line of CARESCAPE patient monitors, including some versions of the Central Information Center product, the Apex Telemetry Server/Tower, the Central Station, a Telemetry Server and three monitor products (the B450, B650 and B850) that display vital patient information to hospital professionals. No known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities, CISA said in its alert. Five of the vulnerabilities were assigned a severity score of 10 on a scale of 1-10, while the sixth was rated an 8.5 on the National Infrastructure Advisory Council’s system. GE Healthcare is “developing software […]
