One of Many Healthcare Breaches So Far This Year

Hackers have stolen sensitive data from the Florida Department of Health (DOH) in the latest cyberattack on a healthcare system. The ransomware attack encrypted key files and demanded a fee for their release. In response, Florida’s DOH is collaborating with cybersecurity experts and law enforcement to investigate the attack and recover the stolen data. This follows a similar breach at Change Healthcare in January, raising concerns about the security of public health information systems.
