> Square payment readers, and others faced more threatening situations, like causing an insulin pump controller to crash This is absurd, it’s obvious to blame the “prankster” or the attacker, but the real blame is on those medical devices with ancient software and firmware that barely gets updated or abide by any cybersecurity compliance and requires you to replace the whole device to get a “better and secure” one, it’s like blaming an attacker for leaked credit cards information, obviously the attacker has the malicious intent, but the blame both legally and technically are on who didn’t patch their software or say stored it in a plain-text. So it’s good that these attacks are happening, hopefully they will bring some standardization into medical devices software, just like automation/industrial ones, SCADA systems were (and still sometimes) extremely vulnerable to basic attacks.
