What Types of Cyber Attacks Are Common in Healthcare?
Common types of cyber attacks in healthcare include ransomware, phishing, and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Ransomware encrypts data and demands a ransom for its release. Phishing involves tricking individuals into providing sensitive information by pretending to be a trustworthy entity. DDoS attacks overwhelm systems with traffic, causing them to crash and become unavailable.
