The 2024 AIIMS Ransomware Attack: A Case in Point

One of India's top medical facilities, AIIMS, was the target of a serious ransomware attack in the beginning of 2024 that had far-reaching effects. Critical hospital data, such as patient information and administrative files, were encrypted by attackers, seriously jeopardizing system integrity and causing significant interruptions to hospital operations. 

Effect of the Attack: 
Operational Disruptions: Because personnel had to rely on manual processes, the attack caused considerable delays in patient care as well as operational inefficiencies. 
Data Compromise:  Sensitive patient data was compromised, raising the possibility of identity theft and privacy violations. 

Security Vulnerabilities: The event brought to light gaps in the cybersecurity defenses of the healthcare industry, highlighting the necessity of proactive threat management.
