Understanding and Exploiting Implanted Medical Devices

This presentation is the culmination of an 18-month independent case study in implanted medical devices. The presenters will provide detailed technical findings on remote exploitation of a pacemaker systems, pacemaker infrastructure, and a neurostimulator system. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities allow for the disruption of therapy as well as the ability to execute shocks to a patient.

I have some experience with smart utility meters and these medical device manufacturers should take note of how smart meters work. You can send an attention signal to a smart meter that contains the serial number in plain text but beyond that, all radio traffic is encrypted. Each device has a unique key assigned at the time it is programmed for the customer. All this is just to prevent hackers from cheating on their electric bills.
