How Do Ransomware Trojans Affect the Nursing Profession?
Ransomware Trojans can have a significant impact on the nursing profession by targeting healthcare facilities, including hospitals and clinics. When a ransomware attack occurs, it can lead to:
Inaccessibility of patient records, which can hinder the provision of timely and effective care. Interruption of medical equipment and systems, affecting the ability to monitor and treat patients. Potential breaches of patient confidentiality, risking patient trust and legal repercussions. Financial costs associated with paying the ransom, recovery efforts, and potential fines for non-compliance with data protection regulations.
