The fact that medical devices themselves are increasingly connected to networks, but are rarely properly secured, is creating another vulnerability, McCormack said.
"Because these are life-saving devices, medical professionals are not sure the security systems can handle them and not disrupt them, so they are opting out. By doing this they are creating more holes for the bad guys to get in," he said.
