Cybersecurity threats and breaches cost businesses an estimated $3.5 billion last year. This is important to know because health organizations and hospitals are at an even higher risk. Email is one of the easiest ways hackers can gain entry into any secure information.
Hackers are getting even more thrifty. They have found ways to make fake and harmful emails and texts look deceptively real. For example, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that phishing texts and pop-ups on websites make it easier than ever for hackers to gain access to private information.
The HIPAA Journal reported a 49% increase in healthcare hacking incidents. Now, more than ever, is the time to be even more aware of the dangers hackers pose. Hacking can cost you a lot of money in the end. Not only will you lose Protection Health Information, you will also end up paying thousands of dollars for recovery. Last year, businesses spent around $1.4 billion in recovery.
