Ransomware

   On February 8, 2022, the FBI issued a security-threat advisory to all healthcare organizations, regarding ransomware.

   Health systems are being targeted in recent attacks, and threats are increasing.

   In the summer of 2021, Scripps, a health system in California, was forced to close portions of their facilities due to a successful ransomware attack. 

   The attack meant turning away patients, and Scripps was unable to resume normal operations for about 4 weeks.
