The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned this week that a number of insulin pumps from Medtronic MiniMed might be at risk of a cybersecurity breach, going as far as to warn patients to switch devices—"Medtronic is recalling affected MiniMed pumps," the FDA said, "and providing alternative insulin pumps to patients."
