A Canadian government healthcare organization and a Canadian medical research university both suffered ransomware attacks. The attacks were detected between March 24 and March 26 and were initiated as part of the coronavirus-themed phishing campaigns that have become widespread in recent months. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, biotechnology firm 10x Genomics Brno University Hospital in the Czech Republic, and Hammersmith Medicines Research have been hit by cyberattacks in the past few weeks. A report released by RisKIQ last week found that ransomware attacks on medical facilities were up 35% between 2016 and 2019.
