What dental practices need to know about the advanced malware attack plaguing businesses and capturing news headlines around the world
RansomBear is on the Hunt. Are you his next meal?
I AM RANSOMBEAR
“I exploit your most valuable and most vulnerable asset. Your patient data. I am RansomBear. If I’m feeling lucky I can just send a few emails hoping that a couple of your staff members will open my attachment and you’d be surprised how many will, especially if I tailor an email to my unsuspecting victim and make it look like its coming from one of their coworkers. So when Judy at the front desk clicks a promising link from her favorite dental hygienist, she lets me right in the front door. Systems lock down, data inaccessible, business grinding to a halt and everyone’s looking at you to clean up my mess.
“The fix is simple really, pay my ransom and you get your patient data back. You wanna think about it? Fine, you have 72 hours to pay up or kiss your patient data goodbye forever. Fact is, I don’t even want your data. I just want you to want it badly enough to meet my demands. Dental practices like yours are low hanging fruit to me, ripe and ready to be picked.”
