Malicious actors view healthcare organisations as a profitable target for ransomware and other exploitations. This is due to the sensitive personal and medical data the healthcare sector handles, as well as the importance of this data in managing operations and patient care.

Financially motivated cybercriminals are attempting to gain access to sensitive personal information held by health organisations (such as names, dates of birth, addresses, medical histories, Medicare details, and health fund information) in order to commit identity theft or sell the information in cybercrime marketplaces.

Attacks on hospitals, health trusts, GP offices, and other healthcare entities, as the scope and sophistication of cybercrime grows, have the potential to result in the loss of sensitive patient data and the disruption of important services.
