The Facts Are In: Ambulances vulnerable to hackers
From the post:
Reports from multiple sources lead to a horrible conclusion. Almost all ambulances are vulnerable to hacking.
There are many compelling reasons for ambulances to be connected and computerized. Emergency responders can take advantage of connectivity to learn more about patients and use that info to deliver better emergency care. And patient status can be communicated to emergency rooms to better prepare for response. This is a life-saving capability.
But you can tell what can go wrong, right?
…
The Threat Brief calls out three reports that all reach the same conclusion: ambulances can be hacked.
The details remain an exercise for readers but that is likely just a matter of time.
Easy to imagine an online vulnerability store where you enter year, make/model and you are supplied with the latest hacks for that vehicle.
I wonder if the DARPA Improv competition will have many of these?
