While there’s evidence that organizations are better controlling data loss, today's attackers are becoming much more targeted and sophisticated, according to an article on the Healthcare IT News website.
Healthcare organizations have been hit by one hack per month during the last year, according to a Ponemon Institute study.
Ponemon found that the most common tactic is exploiting existing software vulnerabilities that are more than three months old.
Newer vulnerabilities and spearphishing — sending targets an email aiming to get them to click on an executable or other malicious code — ranked second and third, respectively.
