Why are healthcare organisations targeted so often?
Healthcare is simultaneously one of the most important and fragile industries in the world. When human lives are on the line, every decision made by healthcare professionals is an important one. The smallest mishaps can carry serious consequences.
Phishing and impersonation is rampant in cybercrime against healthcare. Over 95% of healthcare organizations were targeted by phishing attacks by someone using their own domain. And all of them had their domains spoofed to target patients and business partners.
Email fraud can compromise medical data, interfere with transactions, and create serious difficulties in administering critical treatments to thousands of patients globally. But what really makes this a problem is that 98% of healthcare domains are unprotected from phishing and spoofed email.
