Today, I have come across something i would like to bring up and discuss, and this is Medical facility/device security practices.
My significant other is a stage 1 diabetic, that has been placed on a newer insulin pump to help regulate her A1C. This pump requires her to upload data to our main system, and this folks, was where i could not believe what i was seeing... Upon opening Google Chrome and signing into the site she needed to be, it left us with a prompt that blew my mind..
You need to download Java application to the system to use it for either I.E. 10/11 or outdated Firefox 38...
DO what i stated? I have to use Java "swiss cheese of security holes" and i have to do it on insecure browsers or i can not use your software for her life saving device?
To top this off, she is scheduled for surgery soon, and why the absolute control of her A1C is necessary.
Why is it a company like Medtronic/carelink that literally make millions of dollars, can not afford to update their systems and software to better secure their customers/patients?
Why are these establishments not held accountable for insecure practices with peoples medical/health at stake, it is a responsibility.
Share your thoughts, as this is a much wider spread problem then what i have discussed here.
