Hackers are increasingly launching malicious software attacks against health care organizations, including those in Boston. The risk has only increased amid the coronavirus pandemic, with hackers attempting to hamstring hospitals.

Even as health care providers are a growing target for hackers, the health care industry as a whole is lagging in security measures to prevent and respond to attacks, experts say. Health care data breaches have been on the rise since 2016, with 572 reported breaches last year affecting more than 41 million patient records.”]
