Silicon Valley cybersecurity company Forescout Technologies said Tuesday that it is acquiring CyberMDX, a medical-device security company known for its research into potential cyberthreats against health care technology. CyberMDX is a natural fit for Forescout, which focuses on securing connected devices and operational technology (OT) for large organizations — including what the industry calls the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). Terms of the deal were not disclosed. “Cybersecurity for IoMT, much like cybersecurity for OT devices, requires specific expertise and technologies,” Forescout CEO Wael Mohamed said. “We are pleased to have the CyberMDX team join Forescout as we continue delivering new capabilities on our market-leading platform and grow our R&D center.” Research by CyberMDX has been responsible for shedding light on critical vulnerabilities in widely used medical imaging devices, patient monitors, anesthesia machines and infusion pumps.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve seen a bunch of writing about what seems to be fake COVID-19 testing sites. They take your name and info, and do a nose swab, but you never get test results. Speculation centered around data harvesting, but that didn’t make sense because it was far too labor intensive for that and — sorry to break it to you — your data isn’t worth all that much.
It seems to be multilevel marketing fraud instead:
