Widely Used Chinese-Made Health Monitor Using 'Backdoor' To Send Patient Data To Chinese IP Address

Excerpt:
"The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is warning that Contec CMS8000 devices, a widely used healthcare patient monitoring device, include a backdoor that quietly sends patient data to a remote IP address and downloads and executes files on the device.
Contec is a China-based company that specializes in healthcare technology, offering a range of medical devices including patient monitoring systems, diagnostic equipment, and laboratory instruments.
CISA learned of the malicious behavior from an external researcher who disclosed the vulnerability to the agency. When CISA tested three Contec CMS8000 firmware packages, the researchers discovered anomalous network traffic to a hard-coded external IP address, which is not associated with the company but rather a university.
This led to the discovery of a backdoor in the company's firmware that would quietly download and execute files on the device, allowing for remote execution and the complete takeover of the patient monitors. It was also discovered that the device would quietly send patient data to the same hard-coded address when devices were started."

They have bought countless acres in the vicinity of our military bases.
Then they used a bought and paid for Big Guy of the Biden Crime Family to float a spy balloon completely across the USA before "illegally" sneaking an army of military aged single guys across a "legalized" open border.
Yesterday me dino learned they control the Panama Canal for installing "businesses" that control both ends and can shut the whole thing down any time the CCP wants to.
Today I learn they can even spy on patient data in the USA.
What other Schiff are they up to? Way plenty more, I'm sure.
Why am I thinking of a USA being efficiently rotted from the inside out?
