The average bill for rectifying a ransomware attack, considering downtime, people time, device cost, network cost, lost opportunity, ransom paid, etc., was US$1.27 million.

89% of healthcare organizations have a malware incident recovery plan.

However, on average, only 69% of the encrypted data was restored after the ransom was paid.

44% of those whose data was encrypted used backups to restore data.65% that were hit by ransomware in the last year said the cybercriminals succeeded in encrypting their data in the most significant attack.34% of healthcare organizations were hit by ransomware in the last year.A summary of key findings from the report follows: The 328 healthcare IT decision-makers came from all geographic regions surveyed: the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific. Three hundred twenty-eight respondents completed the survey. The survey also reveals how healthcare stacks up with other sectors, as well as future expectations and readiness of healthcare organizations in the face of these attacks. It explores the prevalence of ransomware in healthcare, its impact on victims, the cost to remediate ransomware attacks, and the proportion of data victims were able to recover after they paid the ransom. In a May 2021 white paper titled The State of Ransomware in Healthcare 2021, cybersecurity vendor Sophos shares their latest findings on the state of ransomware in the healthcare sector. And the majority of health systems that have not been hit by ransomware expect an attack in the future. companies are expected to endure over 65,000 ransomware attacks this year - and thatвЂ™s вЂњa conservative number.вЂќ John Chambers, Founder JC2 Ventures, former CEO, Cisco Systems Image credit: ДЄlmost half of all data breaches in hospitals and the wider healthcare sector result from ransomware attacks, according to new research. вЂњIf the Russian government cannot or will not take action against criminal actors residing in Russia, we will take action, or reserve the right to take action, on our own,вЂќ Psaki said.вЂњU.S. national security officials had been in touch with Russian government officials over the attack.

REvil said it would publish a tool that would allow all infected companies to recover their data if it were paid $70 million in bitcoin. Some victims were being asked for $5 million in ransom, Huntress Labs said.Д«rett Callow, a threat analyst for cybersecurity firm Emsisoft, said REvil was also asking for $45,000 in cryptocurrency for each computer system a victim wanted restored. He said Kaseya was working with the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and the White House to address the issue.ДЄbout 50 of KaseyaвЂ™s direct customers, including dozens of managed service providers, were compromised in the breach, Voccola said.ДЄ Russia-based cybercriminal organization known as REvil took credit Sunday for the attack, boasting about it on its site, вЂњHappy Blog,' on the dark web.
