Researchers have developed a novel attack called ConformalShift that can manipulate adaptive electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring systems by reordering events. This attack targets the timing of feedback in these systems, potentially suppressing critical heartbeat classes without altering the ECG waveforms or labels themselves. Experiments on MIT-BIH confirmation records demonstrated that ConformalShift could suppress a significant percentage of eligible targets for common classifiers like Extra Trees and HistGradientBoosting, far exceeding rates achieved by random scheduling. The findings highlight a vulnerability in adaptive healthcare monitoring where the sequence of information can be exploited to compromise system integrity. AI
