Healthcare IT News: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a security alert to healthcare organizations on Thursday, warning of recently discovered Windows vulnerabilities and a new threat with WannaCry-like capabilities.
The alert is a response to two reports released last week by Microsoft and U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
DHS and FBI alerted to a threat called Hidden Cobra, which is targeting U.S. critical infrastructure, media, aerospace and financial sectors. Thus, HHS officials warned, “targeting of the healthcare and public health sector systems and devices in the U.S. is possible.”
