Cyberattacks on the healthcare sector: Phishing and system vulnerabilities are the main threats

The most common attacks are primarily network scams such as phishing. There were almost 400 of them - informs our journalist.

Hackers also very often exploit the vulnerability of systems to attacks, look for vulnerabilities in software and exploit weaknesses in digital infrastructure.

There are scattered hacker groups from all over the world that are "focused" on obtaining financial resources (...). Hacker groups are also associated with foreign governments, Jeremi Olechnowicz, director of the ICT Systems Operation Division at the e-Health Center, told an RMF FM reporter.

The expert added that the number of hacker attacks will increase year by year.

There is one more problem - new guidelines on cybersecurity in the health care sector will come into force only next year. Until then, relevant institutions will not be able to require additional security measures from companies.
