RANSOM HOUSE CYBERATTACK

Share:

The Ransom House cyberattack (cybercrime organization) on Hospital Clínic shows how important cybersecurity is for companies and organizations

WHAT IS THIS CYBERATTACK ABOUT?

Ransom House, as its name suggests, carries out RANSOMWARE-based cyberattacks. Ransomware, as we have discussed in the past, is a malicious software system that takes critical files from a computer system (computer network) and encrypts them in an unknown way (and known only to attackers), in such a way that those files are de facto “hijacked” or rendered useless.

FOR ECONOMIC PURPOSES

These cyberattacks, in the end, are another of many crimes that are carried out for economic purposes.
These “kidnapped” sensitive data can be released, or restored to their original point, upon payment of a sum of money. In the case of an important organization such as the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, these cybercriminals will surely ask for a very high figure.

Cybersecurity experts agree that you should never deal with such things, and make the case known to the police, at the same time.

LEGAL TROUBLES OF DATA PROTECTION

As if the attack itself were not enough, the affected company, in this case a Hospital, could have legal problems if these attackers made patient data public, and could be involved in legal and data protection problems.

Since these cyberattackers could carry out two types of extortion or blackmail: One, that of not restoring the damage caused, and two, that of making public, or selling, data from the attacked company.
