BD EpiCenter Data Management System Credential Compromise Poses Unauthorized Access Risk
Service credentials for the BD EpiCenter Data Management System were accessed by an unauthorized actor. Until credentials are updated, system data and access controls are at risk.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The source describes a credential compromise creating theoretical risk to data confidentiality and system integrity, with no reported actual unauthorized access to the system or associated data breaches. Per the rubric, when the hazard is theoretical and no illnesses or injuries are reported, the maximum score is 3.
