The cybersecurity expert who hacked his own Medtronic insulin pump almost a year ago has finally met officials from the Fridley-based company, Bloomberg reported.
Jay Radcliffe, a 33-year-old Idaho man who hacked into his own pump at a cybersecurity conference in August 2011, appeared on a panel last week with Michael McNeil, Medtronic's chief privacy and security officer, at the Amphion Forum in Washington, D.C., a computer-security conference.
Medtronic's California-based diabetes business is the largest maker of insulin pumps in the world. Radcliffe and others suspected the security vulnerabilities could extend to other devices, such as pacemakers and implantable heart defibrillators.
