Cyberattacks are going to get a lot worse, former NSA official says December 05, 2016 12:46 PM "Healthcare tops the list for ‘losing stuff’ and the ratio of incidents to breaches, Joel Brenner said Monday during the HIMSS Privacy & Security Forum in Boston." Quote: The face of cybercrime is changing. Healthcare has gone from a declared mission of stealing personal data to much more disruptive issues. In fact, healthcare has seen the largest jump in ransomware attacks than in any other industry. When Joel Brenner opened the HIMSS Privacy & Security Forum in Boston Monday morning, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology research fellow - who focuses on cybersecurity, privacy and intelligence policy - and former senior counsel at the National Security Agency, didn’t sugarcoat the state of healthcare security. The government isn’t going to sort out that problem until we suffer some great losses, Brenner said. “We’re facing industrial espionage on an industrial scale,” Brenner explained. “If espionage is not the oldest business in the world, it’s the second oldest.” http://ift.tt/2gXo5VI yikes
