Health-ISAC’s Q4 2023 Healthcare Heartbeat provides observations of ransomware, cybercrime trends, and malicious actor forum postings that could potentially impact healthcare sector organizations. This product is for your situational awareness, and Health-ISAC recommends members affiliated with the victim companies or those potentially impacted take appropriate measures to secure critical infrastructure.

If Health-ISAC becomes aware of an imminent threat to Members of the healthcare sector, the information will be communicated directly with the impacted organization.

Health-ISAC will continue to monitor this activity and provide relevant updates when necessary. If you have any questions or comments, please email us at contact@h-isac.org. The TLP:GREEN version of the Healthcare Heartbeat is available for Members within the portal.

The White Paper Includes:

– Ransomware Attacks Against Healthcare
– Healthcare Sector Analysis: Cisco IOS XE; Open Databases
