IEEE Spectrum has an article medical device cracking, and includes some comments on a research report on medical device hijacking, due to be released on 15 June.
The report, "Anatomy of an Attack–Medical Device Hijack (MEDJACK)," describes in detail three situations in which hackers were able to get into supposedly secure hospital networks, collecting valuable information, by targeting medical devices.
Although the article covers the report, it also goes into the general issue of embedded device security, and references an earlier article on security implications of the Internet of Things (IoT) from the same author.

I am always fascinated by good science fiction that makes solid predictions. I get that Ghost isn't that old, but still the original manga was written in 1989... that's a LONG way back to have an "internet of things" hacking of medical devices and so much about secure networks.
