🔁Mario Nawfal:
🇺🇸RANSOMWARE HIT 285 MILLION HEALTH RECORDS
Hackers have locked up U.S. hospital data and demanded ransom for access—compromising 285 million patient records since 2010.
In 2024 alone, ransomware hit just 11% of healthcare systems but was responsible for 69% of all stolen records.
Hospitals have had to delay surgeries, shut down ERs, and divert ambulances while criminals extort payments.
Nearly 90% of all breached records since 2010 came from hacking, not accidents.
Most exposed data? Social Security numbers, birthdates, and bank info—perfect for identity theft.
