So far in 2018, there has been roughly 6.1 million individuals who have fallen victim to cyber attacks in the healthcare industry. Of these attacks, 229 of them have found themselves on the HIPAA ‘Wall of Shame’. To add some perspective, a data breach that affects > 500 individuals will land organizations on the Department of Health and Human Services’ Wall of Shame.
In recent weeks, 30 data breaches occurred, resulting in 2.2 million individuals being exposed, which has been the result of malicious phishing attacks against Health System/UnityPoint Health.
