Ransomware Rumble: Norton Healthcare’s Data Drama and the Cybersecurity Candy Parade
When Norton Healthcare said “hold my data,” they got a ransomware wedgie instead of applause. In this digital duel, 2.5 million patients’ data was exposed. Norton’s response? Offering credit monitoring like Halloween candy, promising beefed-up security, and swearing off internet strangers. It’s the Norton Healthcare Ransomware Attack: a tale of cyber missteps, playground bullies, and damage control.
Hot Take:
So, Norton Healthcare got a gnarly digital boo-boo. They had a "hold my data, watch this" moment and ended up with a ransomware wedgie that exposed the sensitive data of 2.5 million patients. The cyber playground bully didn't even touch their medical record system or Norton MyChart (so they claim), but they might have had their grubby mitts on your contact and insurance info, social security number, and more. Now Norton is handing out credit monitoring like candy at a parade, promising to beef up security, and presumably swearing never to talk to strangers on the internet again.Already a member?
