> Modern medical technology relies heavily on computers and software.
Which is why medical devices should all have ECC memory. And for that matter physical separation between any processor that might run attacker-controlled code and the processor responsible for That Which Must Not Fail.
Product defects like this are foreseeable. If bad memory can cause a medical device to kill someone, the party at fault is the one who made a medical device without sufficient redundancy and error correction that bad memory could cause it to kill someone.
