Here is the financial cost of four healthcare cyberattacks that Becker’s has reported on in 2023:
- A 2020 ransomware attack that forced Burlington-based University of Vermont Health Network to shut down its EHR for nearly a month cost the health system $65 million.
- Point32Health, the parent company of Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare, attributed a $102.7 million loss to a ransomware attack.
- Chicago-based CommonSpirit estimated that an October 2022 ransomware attack cost the health system $150 million due to business disruptions and the cost of fixing IT issues.
- Spring Valley, Ill.-based St. Margaret’s Health partly blamed a cyberattack on the decision to close its Peru, Ill. hospital.
