TOC UPDATE

Recent Ransomware Activity Targeting the Healthcare Sector

CISA, FBI and HHS recommend joining H-ISAC as a Best Practice and Mitigation Strategy

US Department of Homeland Security (DHS-CISA), the FBI and US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released joint advisories on October 28 and 29 warning healthcare firms to take timely and reasonable precautions to protect their networks from suspected credible and imminent attacks. The advisories also recommended health sector organizations join Health-ISAC as a best practice and mitigation strategy.

Health-ISAC’s Threat Operations Center (TOC) issued several bulletins including the joint government alert, augmented with intelligence provided from Health-ISAC members and several intelligence partners in the US and UK. The TOC also worked with Health-ISAC’s Threat Intelligence Committee regarding the sector threat level and remains vigilant monitoring these threats. Many of the indicators of compromise have been shared through our automated feeds and in alerts. We are also currently alerting members about another threat. Please be sure to continue to monitor H-ISAC communications and the website for more information as it unfolds.
