Healthcare organizations are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, with ransomware, trojans, and business email compromise (BEC) being the most prevalent threats. Key findings from Huntress's 2024 Cyber Threat Report show Trojans account for 21.1% of threats, RATs 14.3%, and RMM abuse 9.6%. Ransomware families like Dharma (29%), DarkGate (17%), and LockBit (15%) are the most active against healthcare. BEC attacks exploit Microsoft 365, with 34% involving malicious inbox rules and 26% using VPNs or proxies to bypass location controls. The Change Healthcare attack in late 2023 marked a turning point, signaling that threat actors have no ethical limits when targeting life-critical industries.
