Cybercriminals have been going after the healthcare industry more lately, taking advantage of how dependent today’s healthcare organizations are on digital systems and requirements to maintain patient data privacy. Due to the sensitive nature of the data and healthcare organization’s need to stay online, cyberattacks are especially likely to happen in the healthcare field.

These attacks can steal private patient information, stop business and cause tremendous financial losses, both for healthcare organizations and patients whose data is compromised. The Nashville Business Journal recently highlighted the alarming trend of hackers demanding Bitcoin ransoms from healthcare providers, detailing how important it is to have strong cybersecurity measures right away.

The Threat Landscape Is Growing

Cyberattacks on healthcare groups are getting smarter because hackers are always producing new ways to get around security systems. These hacks lead to the theft of private patient information, problems with operations, and big financial losses. High-profile cases, like the ones in the Nashville Business Journal article, show how damaging these attacks are. For example, healthcare providers have had to pay substantial Bitcoin ransoms to get back into their systems.

The main reason healthcare is a target

• High Value of Data: Patient records have a wealth of personal data in them, like Social Security numbers, medical reports and information about insurance. Cybercriminals can sell this information on the dark web for a large sum of money because it is highly valuable and can be exploited for various malicious purposes, such as identity theft, financial fraud and unauthorized access to sensitive accounts.
• Disruption of Operations: Cyberattacks can slow down care for patients, put their safety at risk and make people less likely to trust healthcare companies.

How Cyberattacks Affect Healthcare

If someone hacks into a healthcare group, the results can be catastrophic, leading to:

• substantial financial losses,
• severe operational disruptions,
• theft of sensitive patient data,
• damage to the organization’s reputation,
• non-compliance with regulatory requirements, and
• long-term impacts on their cybersecurity infrastructure.

Recovery from an attack and paying ransoms not only incurs significant costs but also harms the organization’s reputation. People and patients may lose faith in a healthcare provider if their reputation has been compromised, causing delays in care, decreased patient safety, and a loss of trust.

Case Study #1: The Struggle of a Healthcare Provider

In one famous case, hackers got into the systems of a large healthcare provider and demanded millions of Bitcoin to let them back in. The provider lost a significant amount of money, had trouble running its business and had its image hurt because of this incident.
