Imagine this: It’s late at night, and your phone buzzes. It's a notification from the hospital where your elderly parent is receiving treatment. But it’s not an update about their condition. It’s a warning— a cyberattack has shut down their systems. Patient records, vital machines, even life-saving surgeries are all frozen. Now imagine this isn’t just a single hospital, but healthcare facilities worldwide. Entire networks held hostage. Why? Because a group of hackers somewhere decided to demand millions in ransom. How did we get here? When did cybercriminals start targeting the most vulnerable? The truth is, these attacks on healthcare systems have been happening for years. We just didn't notice until they steamrolled everything in their path. Here’s what we know: Cyber gangs have evolved. They’re no longer after just bank details or company secrets. They’re after life itself. They know hospitals can’t afford downtime—lives are at stake. One security analyst admitted, "We underestimated their reach. These groups are organized, strategic, and relentless." It's not just about hacking anymore; it’s a calculated business model. And it's working. Did you know that the average cost of a ransomware attack on a healthcare provider is now over $10 million? That’s not just a number. That’s the cost of delayed treatments, compromised patient care, and destroyed reputations. https://lnkd.in/dXqhuTqx

🚨 Cyber Attack on London Hospitals: Ongoing Impact A devastating cyber attack that hit London hospitals on June 3rd continues to wreak havoc on local GP surgeries. The fallout includes: 1️⃣ Thousands of operations and appointments cancelled 2️⃣ Blood testing capacity severely reduced 3️⃣ Only urgent and critical cases being processed This attack serves as a stark reminder: that cyber threats continue to rise. Healthcare organisations and businesses across all sectors must prioritize and invest in robust cyber security measures to protect vital services and sensitive data. #healthcare #cyberattack #cyberthreats #dataprotection https://lnkd.in/eFiBcEb6

The healthcare sector’s vulnerability to cybercrime was made evident by Change Healthcare’s massive ransom payout to #BlackCat earlier this year. Because of the critical nature of the services they provide and the lives that depend on them, hospitals cannot afford downtime. The bad actors have no hesitation exploiting this. In his testimony before the Senate Finance Committee, UnitedHealth (Change Healthcare Parent Company) CEO Andrew Witty said, “Our company alone repels an attempted intrusion every 70 seconds – thwarting more than 450,000 intrusions per year. These criminals… have increasingly targeted critical infrastructure, including schools, government agencies and the health care sector. (They) are willing to attack everything from community hospitals to pharmacies to networks like ours that enable the information exchange necessary to provide care.” In our latest blog post, we examine the challenges to reducing cyber risk in the sector, and some effective ways for healthcare entities to build resilience.

I am proud to have been quoted today in Intelligent CISO on the breaking story at #NHS Dumfries and Galloway of a #cyberattack. Yet another critical healthcare system to come under attack by perpetrators. Although the attack has yet to be attributed, we can all guess where the attack emanated from. It seems that every week one or more critical providers of healthcare services is attacked with apparent impunity. Fortunately in this case the damage reported thus far, appears to be very limited. The trend however is more worrying. Attacks against critical national infrastructure industries continue to rise in number and impact. When exactly will governments recognise their Chamberlain moment, and come to realise that like it or not, they are embroiled in a cyberwar with organized crime syndicates and pariah nation states that are stressing the very fabric of society and national economies?
