- A former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official has raised concerns about national security threats affecting a critical industry in the United States.
- The warning specifically targets U.S. hospitals, where compromised Chinese-made patient monitoring devices pose a security risk.
- These patient monitors could potentially stream sensitive health data from U.S. hospitals to foreign entities, particularly in China.
- The compromise of these devices transforms what is intended to be routine medical care into a significant security vulnerability.
- This issue is part of a broader campaign to highlight the risks associated with foreign-manufactured technology in vital U.S. industries.
- The situation underscores the need for heightened scrutiny and security measures for medical equipment and technology sourced from foreign manufacturers.
