Cyberattacks on healthcare facilities waning in 2019, report

Live Mint  

In July 2018, Singapore’s largest healthcare service providers, SingHealth, reported a major data breach involving personal data like user names, addresses and dates of birth of over 1.5 million users who were admitted at their various facilities between May 2015 and July 2018. According to a new Kaspersky report, in 2019, attacks on medical devices, which include everything from servers, computers, smartphones, tablets, IoT devices, and connected hospital machines have gone down by almost one third since 2018. “In as much as we want to believe that everybody was awakened by the damage brought about by the Wannacry attack, the reality is that some countries are still lagging behind securing their medical devices," Yury Namestnikov, head of Global Research and Analysis Team at Kaspersky, said in an official press statement. According to another Kaspersky survey of healthcare facilities in the two countries, 32% of the participants said that they didn’t get any cybersecurity training from their employers.
