Alarming research: ransom attacks on hospitals are increasing explosively

Date:

Hackers and ransom extortionists can pose a danger to patients in hospitals. A Tyrolean IT expert knows which vulnerabilities those responsible for healthcare should pay attention to.

Computers that become paralyzed in the operating room, emergency patients that have to be transferred to other hospitals, or sensitive data that is suddenly not safe: when cybercriminals attack the healthcare system, horror scenarios can arise. Just like a year ago in one of the largest hospitals in Barcelona. “Attackers paralyzed the computer system there and forced the cancellation of operations,” said Klaus Gheri, European head of IT security company Barracuda Networks, based in Innsbruck.
