Ransomware Threats

The attack that paralyzed MedStar Health’s computer systems in May 2016 was ransomware known as MSIL/Samas. The FBI had issued an alert about March 25, before the MedStar attack began.  The main objective in using ransomware is to encrypt and lock up files and databases that contain ePHI in order to charge covered entities and business associates hundreds to thousands of dollars to unlock the data. If within 72 hours the ransom is not paid, then ransomware destroys backups of files and databases that contain electronic patient health information. Hackers and ransomware tools are becoming more sophisticated. This webinar addresses steps to avoid being the next victim of ransomware attacks.

Recent developments paint a scary picture. The ransomware attack is through misleading messages requiring you to pay a fee ranging from $300 to $2000 per computer within 72 hours. Over 66% of all breaches were healthcare targets in 2015 as the healthcare data is 10x more valuable in the market. In 2015, 112 million records were breached of a value greater than $24 million. More than 40% of crypto-locked victims agreed to pay the ransom according to Kent Survey.

This webinar rewind highlights the Ten Best Practices that would help avoiding paying the ransom.

About 30-50% of breaches are due to negligence of the Business associates and Vendors.
The Office of Civil Rights enforcement and audits are ramping up, with increased funding for HIPAA audits. Thousands of Providers and Business associates will be audited in 2016.
