Hacking networks in hospitals and holding them for ransom is becoming more prevalent as it’s an easy way to make quick money. Hospitals are particularly vulnerable as they hold your entire identity to include your DOB, SSN, blood type, etc. How profitable is it to sell your identity on the dark web?
During the height of Covid, schools were often targeted. It didn’t make front page news, but it was happening. My neighbor, a school Principal, said they had to pay out $1M at his school; a neighboring school had been hit twice.
As a country, we have to find solutions quickly to protect these networks. Any business that uses a network should be taking every precaution to protect them.
