by Tyler Durden Saturday, Feb 01, 2025 - 09:45 PM They've hacked everything else in the U.S., so why would we be surprised to find out that patient health data collected by Chinese-made health monitors was being sent, via 'backdoor' to China. Now China has access to Janet Yellen's photos (god we hope there's no nudes) and your blood pressure on a random Tuesday. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) warns that Contec CMS8000, a widely used patient monitoring device, contains a backdoor that transmits patient data to a remote IP and downloads executable files, according to BleepingComputer. Contec, a China-based healthcare tech company, produces various medical devices. CISA was alerted by an external researcher and, after testing the device’s firmware, found unusual network traffic linking to a hard- coded external IP tied to a university, not the company.
