Cybersecurity Challenges in Healthcare: The Case of Crown Princess Mary Cancer Centre
“A cybersecurity specialist says the case of a ransomware group demanding the Crown Princess Mary Cancer Centre in western Sydney pay AUD100,000 within a seven-day deadline highlights the challenges of implementing any ransom payment ban. On May 5, 2023, the Medusa ransomware gang issued the deadline, saying that they would begin releasing patient data unless payment arrived on time. The incident is the latest in a growing series of cyberattacks targeting Australian health and allied health entities.”
Recent Ransomware Attacks
The Recent Ransomware Attacks (RRA) site acts as a watchtower, providing you with near real-time ransomware tracking of attacks, groups and their victims. Given threat actors’ overarching, lucrative success so far, ransomware attacks have become the most ubiquitous, and financially and informationally impactful cyber threat to businesses and organizations today.
The site’s data is generated based on hosting choices of real-world threat actors, and a handful of other trackers. While sanitization efforts have been taken, we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy of the data. Attack updates will be made as source data is reported by reputable sources. By viewing, accessing, or using RRA you acknowledge you are doing so at your own risk.
