Cyberattacks Expose the Vulnerability of Medical Device Makers The recent cyberattack on Boston Scientific has highlighted the vulnerability of medical device makers to modern day threats.
The company's admission that it will likely miss its 2026 sales and profit forecasts due to the disruption caused by the attack is a significant blow, both financially and reputationally.
Boston Scientific is not alone in this struggle. Several major medical device makers have been hit by cyberattacks in recent months, including Abbott Laboratories, Stryker, Medtronic, Clover Health, and Novo Nordisk.
