Ransomware attacks and patient records

Ransomware attacks and patient records can be a damaging combination, and this kind of incident is one of the many reasons as to why cybersecurity in the healthcare sector is crucial.

Hackers know that they can stand a good chance of being paid, which is why they target them. The longer information is not accessible by healthcare staff, the more dangers there can be for patients as well. If information is exposed or misused, the problems this can cause for the victims can also be substantial.

Medical data breach compensation cases are one of the most common types of claims that we take forward for people. Here’s how we may be able to help you.
