Preventing Medjacking

Abstract: Advances in medical device technology have led to greater connectivity with other devices, networks, and systems, raising concerns about associated security risks. Many clinicians, as well as the patients who rely on these lifesaving devices, are unaware of these risks and how they can be mitigated. This article describes several types of cyberattacks, including medjacking, hacking, and ransomware, and what nurses can do to guard against security threats and educate patients.

“…cloud-based remote care platforms). 1 6 At the individual level, cybersecurity researchers have documented extensive vulnerabilities in implantable medical devices, which if exploited have the potential to incur severe morbidity including blindness, paralysis, pain and cardiac arrhythmia. 12 17 Attacks on the wider medical infrastructure may also cause morbidity and mortality, exemplified by the death of a woman requiring transfer in Dusseldorf due to a hospital cyberattack.…”
