Muddy Waters Releases New Info About St. Jude Medical Device Flaws

Muddy Waters Capital, the short seller that teamed with security researchers at MedSec, posted the videos on a new site it launched: profitsoverpatients.com.

Muddy Waters Capital today launched a new website,
profitsoverpatients.com,
posting more demo videos and information about vulnerabilities in St. Jude Medical (STM) implantable cardiac devices.
Last month, STM
filed a lawsuit
against Muddy Waters and MedSec, the security research firm that discovered the vulnerabilities. Rather than disclose the flaws to STM (claiming a history of inadequate response to safety concerns)
MedSec teamed up with Muddy Waters
to short-sell STM stock. Muddy Waters has created the ProfitsOverPatients.com site as part of their defense against the lawsuit.
The site includes four videos demonstrating shock-on-T, emergency shock, vibrate the ICD, and disable tachy therapy attacks, which Muddy Waters asserts exploit STMs Merlin@home wireless communication device to broadcast potentially lethal commands to STMs implantable cardiac devices.
In a brief,
Reuters reported
that the CEO of St. Jude continues to believe allegations of cyber security problems with its heart devices are without merit, and that Muddy Waters is attempting to sensationalize, confuse and misrepresent cyber security of St. Jude devices for its own financial gain.
