Privacy Threats on the Internet of Medical Things

Abstract: The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a frequent target of attacks -- compromising both patient data and healthcare infra-structure. While privacy-enhanced technologies and services (PETS) are developed to mitigate traditional privacy concerns, they cannot be applied without identifying specific threat models. Therefore, our position is that the new threat land-scape created by the relatively new and underexplored IoMT domain must be studied. We briefly discuss specific privacy threats and threat actors in IoMT. Furthermore, we argue that the privacy policy gap needs to be identified for the IoMT threat landscape.
