Insulin pump hacker says vendor Medtronic is ignoring security risk

Jerome Radcliffe scared a lot of people — including himself, since he is a diabetic — when he showed how easy it was to hack an insulin pump from a distance at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas early this month.

At the time, Radcliffe didn’t disclose the names of vendor names or models. He withheld the information to stay within legal boundaries, to protect himself, and to make sure he did not arm criminal hackers with the means to undertake the actual hacks. Today he revealed in a conference call that the company in question was Medtronic and it has not acknowledged that there is a security risk.

“I chose not to disclose the details to protect the public safety of diabetics,” he said today in a conference call. But that was before he ran into a brick wall with Medtronic.

Now he has worked with the Department of Homeland Security and the Computer Emergency Response Team to contact the vendor of insulin pumps. He said he expected to get honest, public disclosure from the vendor about what it would do to fix the problem.

“I expect a company to be truthful with any press statements and to do fact checking,” he said. “I expect a comprehensive solution in a timely manner.”

Today, Radcliffe revealed that the company was Medtronic, which had an engineer available at his talk in early August. Radcliffe said that on Aug. 9, Medtronic posted a statement on its web site that says it wasn’t really a security problem. Radcliffe was unsettled by that and emailed the engineer again. On Aug. 12, the DHS contacted the company and got no response. On Aug. 15, Congress sent a letter to the General Accounting Office asking for an investigation. And on Aug. 24 Medtronic gave an Associated Press reporter the same reinforced PR statement. CERT also contacted Medtronic.

“Medtronic takes very seriously the issue of information security of its devices,” the company said in a statement. “It’s an integral part of the very fabric of our product design processes.” It also said, “To our knowledge, there has never been a single reported incident of wireless tampering outside of controlled laboratory experiments in more than 30 years of use.”

The company made a point to minimize the importance of Radcliffe’s work, which prompted Radcliffe’s follow-up call with reporters today.

“It was really disappointing to me they would publish this information without doing any fact-checking whatsoever,” Radcliffe said. “You should contact Medtronic and let them know you find this type of behavior unacceptable. If you are a customer, you should demand they take this issue seriously and be truthful.”

With diabetes, a patient can’t properly process sugar in his or her blood because the body can’t make enough insulin, which bonds with the sugar and turns it into fat. Patients have to inject themselves with synthetic insulin as often as several times a day to keep their blood sugar under control. If they have too little or too much sugar in their blood, the results can be incapacitating or even life threatening.

Insulin pumps use wireless sensors that detect blood sugar levels and then communicate the data to a screen on the insulin pump. The patient can monitor the readings and inject the insulin as needed. Radcliffe reverse-engineered the pumps and the wireless connectivity and figured out that the system was relatively unprotected. It was configured more like a dumb device where the manufacturers assumed no one would try to hack it.

There was no encryption, since that requires more complicated processing and would make the battery for the device run out faster. The sensor has to run on a 1.5-volt watch battery for two years. Adding encryption?also makes the device more expensive. Once Radcliffe,?who has used insulin pumps for a while and has been a diabetic since he was 22,?understood how the devices worked, it was relatively simple to figure out how to hack them.

Radcliffe says he really wants to educate people on how to better protect medical devices. He explained how he figured out how to hack insulin pumps, which rely on wireless connectivity and are therefore vulnerable to being intercepted and compromised.

At Black Hat, Radcliffe tackled the problem of hacking the wireless sensors that collect blood sugar information and transmit it to the insulin pump. He had to figure out what kind of chips are used in the sensors, which he did with some digging. Since the devices emit wireless signals, the manufacturers have to submit designs to the Federal Communications Commission, which investigates whether the device emits anything harmful. Those filings contained valuable information on how the devices operated, Radcliffe said. The data-sheets for the chips had good information, and the patent for the $6,000 or so?insulin pump was also useful.

Once he IDed the sensor, Radcliffe went through the process of deciphering what the?wireless transmissions meant. These?transmissions are not?encrypted, since the devices have to be really cheap. The transmissions are only 76 bits and they travel at more than 8,000 bits per second. To review the signal, Radcliffe captured it with a $10 radio frequency circuit board and used an oscilloscope to analyze the bits.

He captured?two 9-millisecond transmissions that were five minutes apart. But they?came out looking like gibberish.?He captured more transmissions. About 80 percent of the transmissions had some of the same bits. He reached out to Texas Instruments for help but didn’t have much luck. He told the TI people what he was doing and they decided not to help him.

That was as far as he got on deciphering the wireless signal from the sensor, since there was no documentation that really helped him there. He couldn’t understand what the signal said, but he didn’t need to do that. So he tried to jam the signals to see if he could stop the transmitter. With a quarter of a mile, he figured out he could indeed mess up the transmitter via a denial of service attack, or flooding it with false data.

The problem for manufacturers is that the wireless connection on the insulin pump is also not secure. He wrote a “scanner” program that could query for the device’s wireless signal and it pretty much gave itself away with no encryption to interfere with the scanning. If you can get the serial number of the specific device, you can use that to devise a transmission that issues an instruction to it. Radcliffe can control the pump from a distance. He did it on one device that he owns, not a series of devices, since it was his own personal research. He doesn’t know if some pumps are more secure. He isn’t disclosing the vendor yet, but he will work with the vendor to help create a solution.

Radcliffe figured out that if he reversed the format of the signal, he could then capture a transmission identification and then retransmit it with fake data. That would cause the insulin pump to inject too much or too little insulin into the person’s bloodstream, potentially killing the patient. The pump did nothing to inform the patient that its data had been altered.

Hacking medical devices isn’t a pretty subject. But it is perfectly possible and manufacturers of those devices shouldn’t ignore the possibility that it can be done. The problem of lack of security awareness among the manufacturers has been around for a while. In 2008, a security researcher at the?Defcon security conference?showed how he could turn off someone’s pacemaker.

Radcliffe says that next-generation pumps may use Bluetooth wireless radio, which has also been hacked in the past. Research is being done into whether the pumps and the sensors can be integrated so that humans don’t have to make their own assessments about how much insulin they need.

Radcliffe said he has ordered a new insulin pump from a Medtronic rival, Animas. The vulnerable pumps are the Paradigm models 512, 522, 712, and 722. He said that the risks are still low in terms of a hacking attack against individual users. But he said users should be concerned about the behavior of companies.

“I can’t continue supporting a company I find unethical,” he said. “I will continue to be committed to fully disclosing and cooperating with Medtronic no matter what their conduct is. Public safety is the top security.”

Annoyed by braggarts, hackers will vote on best security hacks

Skilled hackers are often annoyed by amateurs who use automated attacks to cause mayhem. They refer to the youngsters as “script kiddies,” since they follow scripts and aren’t truly skillful. So a new web site called RankMyHack.com has emerged that will allow underground hackers to anonymously submit their exploits and have the community vote on them.

The New York Times reports that some 700 hackers have submitted evidence of more than 1,200 web site hacks for peer voting. The site was created by a hacker named Solar to bring accountability to online forums where hackers trade barbs about who is more skillful. RankMyHack.com awards points based on the popularity of the hacked site and the technical difficulty of the hack. The best hackers appear on the “leader board of legends.” Hackers can also fight duels with each other.

The site has its own political slant. Participants can win “bounties” for taking down racist sites, as well as those belonging to university, military and government bodies. The aim is to focus the “abilities of talented hackers against political and government forces.”

The top break-in on the site so far is a hack of AOL’s The Huffington Post, worth 1.7 million points. The attack was claimed by Mudkip, who is the top-ranked hacker. Of course, if RankMyHacker.com were itself the target of government-sponsored hacking, the hackers who brag about their exploits on the site might find themselves the object of unwanted law enforcement attention. It would be brilliant if RankMyHack.com were a fake site created by law enforcement to entrap criminal hackers.

King of Code Finalist: James Khoo turns your phone into a personal security system

(The King of Code contest is sponsored by Windows Phone and is open to developers on any mobile platform.)

Imagine you’re driving home late at night. It’s very late and you’re exhausted. No one else knows where you are and the roads are dark. Suddenly a deer runs across your path and you swerve, crashing into the trunk of a tree and knocking yourself unconscious.

Under usual circumstances, you might not be discovered or rescued for hours — hours that could be critical. And this is just one example of a high-risk situation where location and timing can make a big difference to personal health and safety. Incidentally, location and timing are two things phones can capitalize on.

This is the core of security tracking application SecQ.me (pronounced “secure me”), the first app made for Android and iPhone by the startup company founded by James “Chen Shiang” Khoo. Different from other safety-oriented panic button apps, SecQ.me also makes it possible for users to respond to danger even if they are unconscious, incapacitated or robbed of their phones.

Here’s how it works: Whenever a user heads into a potentially dangerous situation, they register it as an “event.” Then they provide useful information, like a text or voice message with a taxi’s serial number, a photo of a stranger they happen to be meeting for dinner, and a duration estimate, such as the time it will probably take to go to an ATM around the corner.

Once an event is registered, SecQ.me starts to track the user’s location minute by minute. At the end of the event’s duration, the app will ask the user to confirm his or her safety. If there’s no response, the app will assume the user is in danger and will automatically notify designated emergency contacts via SMS or email. A user can even connect SecQ.me with Twitter and Facebook so that these updates will be posted to their social networks too.

Emergency contacts are able to track the user’s last location via the app’s web portal, and access any attached messages or photos. They can even download the user’s full tracking log to share with authorities if necessary.

The way Khoo describes it, “SecQ.me puts a guardian angel in our user’s pocket that constantly watches over them, triggering for help without requiring any intervention from the user.”

The app was born out of Khoo’s personal experience. About two years ago, his youngest sister got into a minor car accident in a remote area that knocked her unconscious. While she was rescued a half hour later, she was hospitalized for three days before her family found out where she was. This incident, combined with rising crime rates in his home country of Malaysia,?inspired Khoo to work on a mobile solution.

While SecQ.me is distinguished by its ability to proactively respond to danger — even if a phone’s battery is dead — it also includes a panic button feature. Users can push a button to alert their emergency network. In the future, people will also be able to trigger this function by vigorously shaking their phones or pushing the button on their Bluetooth headsets.

In the U.S. market, SecQ.me has teamed up with mobile application marketing firm Geniuswave to launch a specific version of the app under the name “Family Watch.” This version will be more family-oriented and is slated to launch in September. In a future iteration, family members will be able to monitor each other and require regular check-ins, in addition to other features.

Still relatively young, the app was one of the top five winners of Sony Ericsson’s 2011 Application Awards. It was also shortlisted by Malaysia 4G operator YTL YES in its Global Developer Challenge. A winner will be announced in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Khoo chose to develop the application for iPhone and Android because the two of them own more than 50 percent of the smartphone market. But he says his startup will consider deploying the app on other platforms, such as Windows Phone and Blackberry, if demand grows to justify the costs. Already, he’s developed a version of the app to run on Sony’s LiveView device (demo here).

“One of the biggest challenges is that users need to cultivate the habit of always pre-registering events with us because emergencies happen when they are least expected,” Khoo says. “If we get funding from either a venture capital fund or an angel investor, we will market our service by running a personal safety campaign encouraging this use of SecQ.me.”

Ultimately, his goal is to make SecQ.me the go-to app for personal safety within three to five years, and plans to invest as much time and energy into its success as he can.

The startup — funded 100 percent by Khoo’s savings for now — is clearly a labor of love, undertaken with his wife Winnie (pictured with daughter and Chief Inspiration Officer Chyenn), who acts as the company’s CFO and COO.

Eventually, Khoo says he’d like to branch out into dating apps (a dream inspired by meeting his wife on Match.com), but he’s not quite ready to delve into that arena yet.

Every week, with the sponsorship of Windows Phone, VentureBeat is crowning the very best mobile developers as “King of Code.” We’re looking for innovative developers who are really pushing the envelope in the mobile space, regardless of the platforms they’re developing on.

Mr. Retrofire4 days ago at 12:36 pmQuick Time 7 was tossed into the Utilities folder when you updated to 10.6.

I did not update to 10.6, kid. My newest MBP (17", Early-2011) came already with 10.6.7. What now!? :D

Quick Time X replaced QT7.

No, QuickTime X in 10.6 uses still the old QT7 API, "under the hood". I know this, because i write QuickTime-based software.

AVFoundation is a new technology that first appeared in iOS and has just been included in OS X with the 10.7 release.

The AV Foundation framework appeared first in iMovie for iOS. Final Cut Pro X included it first on the desktop OS platform (one month before Lion). That is the reason why FCPX runs also on Snow Leopard (not just Lion).Rating: 2 Positives / 0 Negativesmunkees3 days ago at 02:26 pm
I guess it's time for Apple to drop QuickTime for Windows as a separate product, fold it into iTunes and remove all extra features like QT Player, control panel and internet plugins. And especially get rid of the absurdity that is QuickTime Pro.

The thing about QT7 Pro, that QTX does not do is sequence of images into a movie, it very fast and efficient, that is why I still use QT 7 pro.

That's not true. Quicktime 7 was replaced with Quicktime X in 10.6, although both are still supported in both 10.6 and 10.7. What you linked to is just a new framework.

It's nice to see that Apple still provides security updates for Leopard. A lot of people still use it, and Apple's recent decisions regarding backwards compatibility have bothered me a bit. (Rosetta's demise, as well as Xcode 4's inability to develop for anything before 10.6, and Apple's removal of Carbon tools from Xcode 3).Rating: 1 Positives / 1 NegativesArtOfWarfare4 days ago at 09:26 amQuickTime X isn't on Windows?Rating: 0 Positives / 0 NegativesKing Flamez14 days ago at 09:26 amlooks like a pretty big update security wise but, I'm guessing i've already got it for Lion then?Rating: 0 Positives / 0 NegativesKing Flamez14 days ago at 09:27 amQuickTime X isn't on Windows?

Quicktime X is not Quicktime 7. Quicktime 7 is Apple's old video foundation which was replaced by Quicktime X in 10.6.

Its nice to see leopard get updates still.Rating: 0 Positives / 0 Negativesblackboxxx4 days ago at 12:29 pmWhile about a decade ago QuickTime tried to be the video standard of the web and competed against Windows Media and Real (remember Real? :D), it has lost to Flash long ago, and now HTML5 is the new contender. I haven't seen any website that uses QT (except apple.com) in the past five years. Windows 7 now even plays most .mov files natively. The only remaining reason to have QuickTime on your PC is to run iTunes.

They stopped updating QuickTime 7 with new features long ago, and continue pushing out updates just to fix security bugs, of which there are plenty (I'm serious – it's worse than Flash).
