Anatomy of a Fall: One rural hospital’s ransomware story (from Click Here)

What happens when a hospital gets hit by a ransomware attack? We’re sharing an episode from a podcast called Click Here that takes us inside the aftermath of a cyber attack on a rural hospital in Oregon.  The story starts the minute the hospital’s IT director finds out they’ve been hacked, and follows him and his colleagues as they scramble to keep the place running while they try to get it back online. It’s a fascinating adventure, and it gives us a window into the growing problem of cyberattacks in health care – why places like hospitals have become such a major target for cyber-criminals and how the industry is dealing with it. Click Here is a bi-weekly tech news podcast from Recorded Future News, hosted by Dina Temple-Raston. We’ll be back with more episodes of An Arm and a Leg in a few weeks.Send your stories and questions.
