From Ransomware to Reality Check: US Radiology’s $450,000 Lesson in Cybersecurity Complacency

In the hilarious saga of “oops, we did it again,” US Radiology paid a $450,000 fine for a ransomware attack that exposed 200,000 patients’ data. It’s like saying, “Hey, here’s our unsecured treasure, help yourself!” The Radiology Ransomware Attack Consequences? A hefty fine, a bruised…

Hot Take:

So, US Radiology learned the hard way that "competing priorities" and "resource restraints" shouldn't come in the way of cybersecurity, especially when you're holding the personal information of 200,000 patients. It's like leaving your front door wide open with a neon sign saying "We're Out, Please Rob Us!" And then being surprised when someone walks in and takes your TV. Oh, and they also learned that a $450,000 fine stings a lot more than a firmware patch.
