Exactly two years ago I gave a presentation on weaknesses in diabetic medical devices, and how similar they were to industrial SCADA systems. Well, I got a new insulin pump, and I have managed to find more problems. This will be a very unique talk where the audience will get to see over a dozen different diabetic devices, touch and poke at them, ask how they work and see them attached to me. Also part of the discussion will be these devices in context: How are they used? What are the implications of their failure? There will also be a live demo of a critical software flaw that has never been discussed publicly! There will be needles. There will be blood. There’s a chance the speaker might not even survive.
