Reason

An IT security vulnerability was discovered in a network penetration test carried out by an IT security expert. This only applies to machines which are actually connected to an in-house network. In the event of an attack on the internal network of a hospital, a laboratory or a surgery, there is a risk that (mostly encoded) data can be read out from the affected Miele washer-disinfectors.
