When Dell acquired EMC in 2016 for $67 billion, it created a complicated consortium of interconnected organizations. Some, like VMware and Pivotal, operate as completely separate companies. They have their own boards of directors, can acquire companies and are publicly traded on the stock market. Yet they work closely within the Dell, partnering where it […] Continue reading How Pivotal got bailed out by fellow Dell family member, VMware
A flaw in the firmware of anesthesia and respiratory devices made by General Electric could allow a hacker to change the composition of gases dispensed by the equipment, putting patients at risk, cybersecurity researchers warned Tuesday. “If exploited, this vulnerability could directly impact the confidentiality, integrity and availability of device components,” CyberMDX, the health care security company that discovered the issue, said in a statement. For the vulnerability to be exploited, a hacker would need access to a hospital’s network and for the machines to be connected to a terminal server, or one that allows enterprises to connect to multiple systems, according to CyberMDX. But with that access, an attacker could not only alter gas composition, the researchers said, but also silence alarms on the equipment and change dates and timestamps that document a patient’s surgery. “Once the integrity of time and date settings has been compromised, you no longer […]
