As we use more and more devices from smartphones to wearable sensors, your online privacy can have a very real impact on our health and well-being. When hacked, even simple wearables can yield private information about our vital signs and reveal personal health problems and insight into our habits (like when we regularly go running) that’s best kept from the public eye. More threatening are the findings of security researchers who managed to prove that a deadly overdose of medication could be administered remotely via a vulnerability in certain insulin pumps. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let’s see the dangers facing our health information, and a few easy tips you can use to boost your privacy levels quickly.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cb>The dangers facing healthcare privacy\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.arxan.com\u002Fsolutions\u002Fhealthcare\u002Fapplication-protection-for-healthcare-and-medical-devices\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arxan recently surveyed\u003C\u002Fa> trends and dangers threatening the privacy of healthcare data. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter\">\u003Ca class=\"img\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.arxan.com\u002Fsolutions\u002Fhealthcare\u002Fapplication-protection-for-healthcare-and-medical-devices\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"307\" height=\"870\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2016\u002F06\u002Farxan_anatomy_of_med_device_attacks.jpg\" alt=\"Arxan_Anatomy_of_Med_Device_Attacks\" class=\"wp-image-13230\"\u002F\u003C\u002Fa srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2016\u002F06\u002Farxan_anatomy_of_med_device_attacks.jpg 307w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2016\u002F06\u002Farxan_anatomy_of_med_device_attacks-181x512.jpg 181w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2016\u002F06\u002Farxan_anatomy_of_med_device_attacks-88x250.jpg 88w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 307px) 100vw, 307px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cb>How to protect healthcare privacy – simple tricks and tips\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, there are a few steps you can take today to protect your health information.
