A recent report highlights the worrying trend of Chinese cybercriminals, specifically a group known as Ghost, who are financially motivated and targeting various sectors, including healthcare. Despite past attacks on hospitals, such as the New York Blood Center incident, the new threat has seen many healthcare facilities, particularly in North America and the U.K., facing increased risks from ransomware attacks. This group has a history of rebranding, making it challenging for law enforcement to track their activities, as they shift from names like Cring and Crypt3r to the current Ghost label.
There are two types of scumbag in the cybercrime world: those who pick on vulnerable individuals to perpetrate their fraud, and those who target healthcare in search of illicit financial gains.
Ghost, a financially motivated group from China, targets government offices, the energy sector, factories, financial services, and hospitals, particularly in North America and the U.K.
