In January, Tennessee-based QRS, which provides EHR and practice management software, was accused of failing to implement recommended threat measures to prevent and detect cyberattacks stemming from an August 2021 data breach of its patient portal. "QRS failed to reasonably secure, monitor and maintain the protected health information and personally identified information stored on its patient portal," the plaintiff said.</p> <p><a data-mce-href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/commonspirit-working-restore-ehr-systems-after-ransomware-attack-confirmed/" href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/commonspirit-working-restore-ehr-systems-after-ransomware-attack-confirmed/" target="_blank"><strong>CommonSpirit still working to restore EHR systems after ransomware attack confirmed</strong></a>.

In April, Sens. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisconsin, and Dr. Bill Cassidy, R-Louisiana, introduced the Protecting and Transforming Cyber Health Care Act to implement a series of new requirements for medical device and network security. While the PATCH Act, which would have amended the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, was not passed this year, the FDA released draft medical device cybersecurity guidance in April and worked with MITRA to release an incident preparedness and response playbook.</p> <p><a data-mce-href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/fbi-spotlights-cybersecurity-risks-outdated-medical-devices/" href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/fbi-spotlights-cybersecurity-risks-outdated-medical-devices/" target="_blank"><strong>FBI spotlights cybersecurity risks of outdated medical devices</strong></a>. The FBI released recommendations to address a number of cybersecurity vulnerabilities in active medical devices like insulin pumps, intracardiac defibrillators, mobile cardiac telemetry, pacemakers and intrathecal pain pumps. The agency found an average of 6.2 vulnerabilities per medical device and that 40% of medical devices at the end-of-life stage offer little to no security patches or upgrades. </p> <p><a data-mce-href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/fbi-cisa-warn-zeppelin-ransomware-targeting-healthcare/" href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/fbi-cisa-warn-zeppelin-ransomware-targeting-healthcare/" target="_blank"><strong>FBI, CISA warn of Zeppelin ransomware targeting healthcare</strong></a>. In August, the FBI and Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued a joint alert that Zeppelin ransomware, a derivative of the Delphi-based Vega malware family, was being used in cyberattacks aimed at healthcare organizations. Cybercriminals have deployed Zeppelin against a wide range of critical infrastructure organizations since 2019, requesting high ransom payments in bitcoin and exfiltrating data, according to CISA. The alert outlined the tactics, techniques and procedures, and incidents of consequence as well as recommendations to help hospitals and health systems mitigate its risks. </p> <p><a data-mce-href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/cybersecurity-incident-disrupts-operations-tenet-hospitals/" href="https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/cybersecurity-incident-disrupts-operations-tenet-hospitals/" target="_blank"><strong>Cybersecurity incident disrupts operations at Tenet hospitals</strong></a>. In April, Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare suffered disruptions to some of its more than 550 acute-care operations that included turning ambulances away in Massachusetts and losing access to EHRs in Florida.

Based on a poll of more than 640 IT and security leaders, The Ponemon Institute found that 89% of the surveyed organizations experienced an average of 43 attacks over the past year – averaging almost an attack each week. The September report indicated that of those health systems experiencing the four most common types of cyberattacks, 20% said they have subsequently experienced increased patient mortality rates.</p>
