HHS warns of ‘Citrix Bleed’ attacks after hospital outages

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued a warning to health facilities across the country to patch a vulnerability referred to as the “Citrix Bleed”. This vulnerability is being exploited by ransomware gangs in cyber attacks. Despite Citrix releasing a patch in early October, many businesses remain exposed, with two major hospital networks having recently fallen victim to ransomware attacks. The HHS and cybersecurity experts are urging all organisations to implement the existing Citrix patches urgently to secure their systems.
