Of the major healthcare headlines this year, some of the most notable highlighted the escalation of cyberattacks and data breaches.

在今年的主要医疗保健头条新闻中，一些最引人注目的新闻强调了网络攻击和数据泄露的升级。

Cyberattacks in healthcare can have big consequences: They are both life threatening to patients and can cost millions of dollars. Cybercriminals, who exploit the sector’s lagging technology systems, can hold valuable patient information for ransom, while health organizations are forced to either pay the price or watch as patient data is auctioned off on the dark web..

医疗保健领域的网络攻击可能会产生重大后果：它们对患者的生命构成威胁，并可能导致数百万美元的损失。利用该行业落后的技术系统的网络犯罪分子可以持有有价值的患者信息以换取赎金，而卫生组织则被迫付出代价或观看患者数据在黑暗的网络上拍卖。。

As cyberattacks rose this year, no event dominated headlines like the ransomware attack at UnitedHealth-owned Change Healthcare. The cyberattack crippled crucial payments from insurers to providers for weeks and impacted 100 million Americans. The scope of the attack prompted federal regulators to open an investigation into Change, and United Health CEO Andrew Witty was forced to testify before Congress about the company’s security measures..

随着今年网络攻击的增加，没有任何事件像UnitedHealth旗下Change Healthcare的勒索软件攻击那样占据了头条新闻。网络攻击数周来削弱了保险公司向供应商支付的关键款项，并影响了一亿美国人。袭击的范围促使联邦监管机构开始调查这一变化，联合健康公司首席执行官安德鲁·维蒂（AndrewWitty）被迫在国会就公司的安全措施作证。。

But while Change was the biggest incident, several other breaches and cyberattacks impacted healthcare operations across the country.

虽然变革是最大的事件，但其他几起违规和网络攻击影响了全国的医疗保健业务。

A ransomware attack at Ascension, one of the largest nonprofit health systems in the country, took the system’s electronic health record offline, caused some hospitals to divert ambulances and impacted clinical operations in 11 states and Washington, D.C. Ascension executives said the attack contributed to its $1.1 billion net loss during its 2024 fiscal year..

阿森松岛是美国最大的非营利医疗系统之一，阿森松岛遭到勒索软件攻击，导致该系统的电子健康记录离线，导致一些医院转移救护车，并影响了11个州和华盛顿特区的临床运营。阿森松岛高管表示，该攻击导致其2024财年净损失11亿美元。。

Attacks also impacted smaller facilities, including at a Chicago children’s hospital, a Michigan-based provider and a Colorado system.

。

While some hospitals dealt with ransomware attacks, other organizations had to contend with both attacks and data breaches. Data breaches after cyberattacks are also on the rise. Breaches at a contractor for the CMS and benefits administrator HealthEquity exposed the personal health information from over 900,000 people and 4.3 million members, respectively.

虽然一些医院处理勒索软件攻击，但其他组织必须同时应对攻击和数据泄露。网络攻击后的数据泄露也在增加。CMS和福利管理员HealthEquity的承包商违规，分别暴露了90多万人和430万会员的个人健康信息。

Last year, 141% more large data breaches were reported to regulators compared to 2022..

去年，与2022年相比，向监管机构报告的大型数据泄露增加了141%。。

As we head into 2025, below are seven of the biggest cyberattack and data breach stories in healthcare this year, including some you may have missed.

在我们迈向2025年之际，以下是今年医疗保健领域最大的七起网络攻击和数据泄露事件，其中包括一些您可能错过的事件。
