Small Hospitals & Practices Beware: You are the Preferred Target!

The vast majority of reported healthcare ransomware attacks — about 70% — affect facilities with fewer than 500 employees. Research has also shown that these healthcare attacks have increased 35% between 2016 and 2019.

Experts Warn Against Paying the Ransom Following an Attack

New research from industry experts confirms that paying ransomware attackers can actually double your total amount paid and won't necessarily ensure a smoother recovery. In the State of Ransomware 2020 report, industry researchers surveyed 5,000 global IT decision makers across a range of industries. Researchers found that 51 percent of these organizations faced a ransomware attack within the last year. In the US, 59% fell victim to an attack. On the bright side, 25% of those interviewed were able to halt the attack before all their data was encrypted. The report concluded that on average, the data recovery cost in the US – without paying the ransom – was more than $732,520. This included business downtime, lost orders, operational costs, device costs, and other expenses. Yet when the organizations paid the ransom, the total recovery costs nearly doubled to $1.4 million.
