Comment on Hackers Can Kill Diabetics w/ Insulin Pumps? Facts vs. Fear Mongeringparent

Comments

Even if you could manipulate the pump control itself, you still aren't disabling the feature that shows the blood glucose level (which the person is certainly monitoring), or the alarms that most likely go off when the values are too far outside of center.

The most likely outcome of a hacker gaining control, is that the user sees the insulin pump is screwing up, then just takes it off and uses manual injections or sees their doctor.
