Healthcare Bears 60% of Cyber-Attacks Reported in Colombia

A report cited by Biofile says that 60% of cyber-attacks recorded in Colombia targeted healthcare institutions, including hospitals and clinics. The figure is based on a measurement analysed using IBM’s X-Force Index and indicates that medical information is a major focus for cybercriminals.

The report does not establish that every incident caused a data breach or that all medical records were compromised. Instead, it reflects the scale of cyber threats directed at Colombia’s healthcare sector. No further details about the attacks, affected organisations, methods used or recommended response are provided in the supplied article.
