A recent surge in ransomware attacks has raised significant concerns about cybersecurity, particularly in the healthcare sector. Ransomware attackers have quickly exploited a PHP vulnerability with a severity rating of 9.8. The Phorpiex Botnet has been identified as a major threat, unleashing a phishing frenzy in May 2024, while LockBit3 continues to dominate the malware landscape. In Britain, a ransomware attack has rendered data from a healthcare firm that processes around 100,000 blood tests per day for the NHS unusable. This incident has highlighted the lack of cybersecurity plans in two-thirds of NHS integrated care systems, exacerbated by a recent funding cut to the national program aimed at developing these plans. Officials have called this a 'wake-up call' for improved cybersecurity measures. Additionally, much more personal data is being held hostage in this new wave of hacking crimes.
