Issue

Through our cybersecurity monitoring tools and processes, BD recently identified unauthorized access to a limited portion of its information technology (IT) environment. BD terminated the unauthorized access and applied additional security measures. After a thorough investigation, BD confirmed that product service credentials intended for use by BD technical support teams for certain BD products were accessed by an unauthorized actor. Until these product service credentials are updated, there is a risk of unauthorized access that may impact the confidentiality, integrity and/or availability of the relevant products and associated system or data. 
To date, BD has not been made aware of any unauthorized use of these product service credentials and has received no reports of these credentials being used for unauthorized access to any BD device.

Recall start date: October 31, 2024
