The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHS), have issued a cybersecurity advisory to the U.S. healthcare sector (Alert: AA20-302A) regarding a concerted effort to compromise and take hostage the computer systems of healthcare providers.
The cybercriminals are targeting the sector with “Trickbot Malware” with the intent of creating a ransomware situation. If successful, their efforts to encrypt the systems and demand a Bitcoin ransom will disrupt the affected healthcare entity.
