source? sounds fishy to me, can't believe insulin pumps are so vulnerable.

  I don't have a source for OP's Flipper Zero story, but insulin pumps are surprisingly vulnerable: https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-medical-advisories/icsma-22-263-01 https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-medical-advisories/icsm...

But it's also from Twitter so take it with a grain of salt.

    Specifically they say there's an Android device for monitoring/controlling the pump that was taken out by this. That seems more plausible given that it likely isn't exactly running the newest version of everything.

    And the fix would be to remove yourself ~30ft from the source (though BLE might have even less range). The pump itself wasn't "disabled", the dude's Android phone (or dedicated Android device for this) was temporarily glitched while in range.

  Medical devices with shit firmware are hardly uncommon. I can totally believe someone crashed one with a device like this.
