Nearly five months after ending up in the crosshairs of a short seller, St. Jude Medical said Monday it’s upgrading its cybersecurity to enhance the safety of its implantable heart devices. The updates come after the Food and Drug Administration found that St. Jude’s heart devices have “vulnerabilities” that could allow hackers to break into pacemakers, resulting in battery depletion or “inappropriate pacing or shocks.”
