Rodney Joffe, is also a founder of the unofficial Conficker Working Group
I have identified at least 300 critical medical devices from a single manufacturer that have been infected with Conficker. These devices are used in large hospitals, and allow doctors to view and manipulate high-intensity scans (MRI, CT Scans etc), and are often found in or near ICU facilities, connected to local area networks that include other critical medical devices.
After the manufacturer and hospitals were notified, government regulations prevented hospital staff from fixing the systems for a period of 90 days.
