Instead of paying the ransom...a much more worrying--and dangerous--form of medical hacking is creating counterfeit medical devices or hacking existing ones...Medical devices themselves can also be hacked...By manipulating insulin pumps remotely, criminals could kill or seriously injure targets; their crime, meanwhile, would be likely to escape detection from law enforcement unaware insulin pumps could be hacked
