FDA Hospital Hack Warning, Fiat Chrysler Jeep Recall

The FDA issued a warning to hospitals regarding Hospira Symbiq infusion pumps, which are vulnerable to remote hacking that could modify medication dosages. This warning follows a voluntary recall of 1.4 million Fiat Chrysler vehicles after a demonstration showed hackers taking control of a Jeep. ABC News reporter Aditi Roy notes that while no specific attack prompted the FDA alert, the risk to internet-connected medical devices is considered a real possibility.
