Two recently disclosed malware attacks in the healthcare sector illustrate that detection and mitigation of such attacks can be rapid, or it can take many months. The bigger of the two incidents – impacting nearly 539,000 patients – was a malware attack on LifeBridge Health that occurred in September 2016. The other incident was a May 17 ransomware attack on Allied Physicians of Michiana, a specialty practice based in South Bend, Indiana. Security experts say that while many healthcare organizations are making progress in detecting and mitigating malware attacks, there’s still lots of work to be done.”]
