Ransomware Underscores Value of Secure Messaging
In 2017, we ran the post below in response to a ransomware attack that hit Britain’s National Health System. Now in 2020, history has predictably repeated itself with a wave of attacks on several hospitals here in the U.S. from Ryuk, a group believed to be operating out of Russia and timed with both a surge in Covid-19 cases and the 2020 presidential election.

This legislation sets national standards for patient privacy and, eventually, for healthcare data security as well.
