Ransomware attacks and patient records

Ransomware attacks and patient records can be a damaging combination, and this kind of incident is one of the many reasons as to why cybersecurity in the healthcare sector is crucial.

Hackers know that they can stand a good chance of being paid, which is why they target them.
