Stryker (medical equipment) cyber attact

News & Current Events
1

Alerts from my state EMS office have been coming down the pipe all week regarding the hacking of medical equipment. EKG transmissions from ambulance to ER would likely be affected for EMS companies to be getting this alert. Hopefully, it is not terrorists and just a glitch and doesn’t continue into hospitals or other medical related things. Not good.

Me to. This should have been posted into News and Events instead of Bullet Points. Is there a way to move it?

@Don102 From the Stryker bulletin it seems to be mostly computer related but that could possibly affect surgeries, EKG machines, anything electronic. Their bulletin was sort of vague for me. I would say your parts are fine though. LOL Seems it’s been going on for a month or two so hopefully they have the cyber attack taken care of.

Ever since you’re ‘report’ I figured out why I went to the

Mini-Fridge to get a Tea backwards last night…… and the Hip Ball

(Left side) seems to vibrate to the music when I play ‘enter the sandman!’ (Curious):winking_face_with_tongue:
