Phishing: Worldwide, healthcare hackers' favorite cyberattack method has evolved to include phishing emails.

To trick users into disclosing personal information, phishing spam send unsolicited emails to consumers while making false claims to be well-established, frequently well-known, and genuine corporate enterprises.

The initial spam email frequently contains a link that directs consumers to a phony website where they are prompted to update private information such as their social security number, credit card information, login passwords, and bank account information.

Malware: Spammers frequently embed harmful malware in emails through attachments like Word and PDF documents or links redirecting to websites with malicious scripts built to run covertly on the user's browser.

The malware takes over once a user clicks on the targeted link and can quickly spread throughout entire networks.

Some viruses can even connect to a user's computer, giving the hacker complete control over the machine to use as they choose.

Unfortunately, healthcare workers are frequently the weakest link when attempting to maintain a safe email environment since they are unaware of issues until they become serious.

A comprehensive email security strategy implemented in collaboration with a third-party managed services security provider (MSSP) is the appropriate response for healthcare businesses determined to reduce their risk of spamming.
