FBI Says Healthcare Sector Is Number 1 Target for Ransomware Attacks
March 14, 2023
The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) logged 870 grievances last year. The complaints came from organizations that were victims of ransomware attacks classified as “critical to infrastructure.”
Healthcare was the most attacked sector, followed by manufacturing and government, including schools. But, unfortunately, the FBI believes it only know about 20% to 25% of the attacks – much more occur in actuality.
