☆ The government is getting fed up with ransomware payments fueling endless cycle of cyberattacks
  + stars: | 2024-10-18 | by ( Barbara Booth | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +7 min
Zeroing in on cyber insurance as a key area for reform comes as the U.S. government scrambles to find ways to disrupt ransomware networks. For many organizations, deciding whether to pay a ransom is a difficult and urgent decision. The hacker group allegedly demanded a ransom to return the stolen data, though it remains unclear whether NPD paid it. Darren Williams, founder of BlackFog, a cybersecurity firm that specializes in ransomware prevention and cyber warfare, is firmly against paying ransoms. UnitedHealth Group experienced this firsthand after its subsidiary, Change Healthcare, was hit by the ALPHV/BlackCat ransom group in April 2023.

☆ Pa. health system agrees to $65 million settlement after hackers leaked nude photos of cancer patients

CNN —A Pennsylvania health care system this month agreed to pay $65 million to victims of a February 2023 ransomware attack after hackers posted nude photos of cancer patients online, according to the victims’ lawyers. Eighty percent of the $65-million settlement is set aside for victims whose nude photos were published online. The ransomware attack “was limited to the network supporting one physician practice located in Lackawanna County,” the Lehigh statement continued. A February ransomware attack on a major health insurance billing firm cut off health providers from billions of dollars and put some health clinics on the brink of bankruptcy. A full-scale ransomware attack on a health care provider has many costs aside from potential lawsuits, from rebuilding computer systems to retaining legal counsel, Henderson said.

☆ Breach of Mental-Health Records Challenges Nation’s Court System

Hackers posted naked photos of cancer patients online after a February cyberattack on Allentown, Pa.-based Lehigh Valley Health Network. Fifteen prosecutors will go through technical evidence and statements from around 24,000 patients whose data was exposed and some of which was published online, Finnish officials said. Prosecutors will spend an estimated 10 minutes reviewing each report to decide whether to use it in court, Mr. Vainio said. The logistics of a trial will be challenging because Finnish law requires courts to accommodate all victims who want to be present, Mr. Vainio said. Money, however, won’t address all the harms to victims, Mr. Vainio said.
