Alert: Ransomware Activity Targeting Healthcare Providers
There are reports of a pending cyber attack targeting hospitals and healthcare providers. OSMA encourages physicians to contact their IT teams/advisors.
Key Findings:
- CISA, FBI, and HHS assess malicious cyber actors are targeting the HPH Sector with Trickbot malware, often leading to ransomware attacks, data theft, and the disruption of healthcare services.
