Healthcare disruption could 'mount' in days and weeks ahead
This is Ireland but can see this carrying on with intensity on healthcare as well as infustructure.

Also for HIPAA (North America) and GDRP (Europe) compliance laws that govern how data is protected, found this interesting.
The HIPAA Journal is reporting that in March of 2021, we saw a 38.8% increase in reported healthcare data breaches from the previous month. Hacking incidents are the dominant breach method. And apparently the higher number of breaches is due to an increase in data breaches at business associates. Here’s the breach breakdown of hacking/IT incidents:
- 76% involved compromised network servers
- 24% involved breaches of email accounts
- 60% of breaches involved business associates
The number of breached records also rose 135.89% with 2,913,084 healthcare records exposed across 62 incidents. That’s a lot of breached healthcare records. Do you think your healthcare data is safe?
