US security agency reports that China-made hospital patient monitors contain a backdoor that sends confidential monitoring data to a third-party university.

      There’s bigger problems than medical monitors collecting data. Like fascism. And I’d rather have the spying monitor than no monitor at all.

          People focusing on things like this instead of the government. If you want secure monitors the focus should be on laws that protect privacy, not just calling out companies that violate privacy.
