?? Attackers Are Exploiting a New Driver Vulnerability Cybercriminals are weaponizing a newly discovered driver vulnerability (CVE-2025-0289) in Paragon Partition Manager’s BioNTdrv.sys, using it to escalate privileges and deploy ransomware. This attack is part of a growing trend known as Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD), where attackers introduce a trusted but exploitable driver to bypass security defenses, disable endpoint protection, and take full control of a system. ??Why does this matter for healthcare cybersecurity? ?? ?? Privilege Escalation – Once executed, hackers gain SYSTEM-level access, potentially compromising patient data, imaging systems, and connected medical devices. ?? Healthcare IoT Exposure – Many unpatched medical devices still rely on outdated drivers, increasing the risk of exploitation. ???? The good news? Microsoft has added the vulnerable driver to its blocklist, and Paragon has released version 2.0.0 to patch the issue. But healthcare organizations must take proactive steps to secure their environments. ?? Read the full article here:https://hubs.la/Q0393HZS0 ??

Cyberattacks on UK hospitals and NHS Trusts are surging, yet many still rely on outdated compliance practices that fail to protect against modern threats.?? ?? 74% increase in healthcare cyberattacks across the UK. ?? As much as ￡17M in breach fines. ?? 68% of UK-based healthcare organizations faced IoT-focused attacks. The Problem? NHS hospitals are still relying on manual compliance tracking and reactive security, leaving them exposed. ?? What’s missing? ? Real-time attack visibility – Traditional methods often fail to identify breaches promptly, allowing attackers to remain undetected for extended periods and move laterally. ? Automated risk tracking – Static compliance checklists do not adapt to evolving threats, leaving systems exposed. ? IoT-Specific Security Protocols - Connected medical devices frequently lack robust security measures, making them prime targets for cybercriminals. ?? To combat these challenges, UK healthcare organizations must modernize their compliance and security strategies. Implementing real-time monitoring, automating risk assessments, and establishing IoT-specific security protocols are critical steps toward safeguarding patient data and maintaining trust in healthcare services. ??

Most hospitals think they have IoT security under control—until they get breached. ??More than 50% of connected medical devices and healthcare IoT devices have at least one unpatched critical vulnerability. ?? Outdated, unmanaged devices create entry points for ransomware and cyber threats. The worst part? Most hospitals don’t discover breaches for months. On February 26 ??, our healthcare security experts will reveal: ? The #1 mistake hospitals make with IoT vulnerabilities ? How to prioritize security risks before an attack happens ? Lessons from real-world cyber incidents ?? Spots are filling up fast—secure yours now! https://hubs.la/Q037hvXp0 #IoTSecurityWebinar #IoTCybersecurity #RiskManagement #HealthcareIoT #CISO

Cyber threats are evolving—is your security strategy keeping up? ?? The biggest IoT risk hospitals face: 1?? Unpatched medical devices—A hacker’s easiest way in. 2?? Vendor-managed risks—Are your third-party partners secure? 3?? Incident response delays—Most breaches aren’t discovered until months later. 4?? Lack of real-time visibility – Unknown devices = unknown risks. Which is the biggest challenge for your team?

?? Phobos Ransomware Takedown ?? Authorities have taken down a major Phobos ransomware operation, arresting Russian nationals linked to attacks on hospitals, municipalities, and critical infrastructure. ?? Phobos has been a persistent threat, known for targeting healthcare organizations with double extortion tactics—stealing data before deploying ransomware to cripple operations. Even when ransom wasn’t paid, patient care and critical services were disrupted. Read the full story: https://hubs.la/Q036_HW20 #Ransomware #CyberThreats #HealthcareIoTSecurity

?? Ransomware Stopped—But the Breach Still Happened ?? Tampa General Hospital - one of Florida's largest hospitals successfully repelled a ransomware attack before the attackers could encrypt systems. ???? But the damage was already done. ??The attackers, identified as the Snatch ransomware group, had already exfiltrated the personal information of approximately 1.2 million patients. ?? This is the modern ransomware playbook. Even when hospitals stop the ransom attempt, attackers still walk away with stolen data—fueling extortion, identity theft, and long-term security risks. ?? For healthcare, this is yet another wake-up call. Stopping encryption simply isn’t enough. The focus MUST be on preventing access in the first place. ?? Proactive defense is critical: ? Real-time threat detection to stop lateral movement ? Network segmentation to isolate critical systems ? Continuous risk monitoring to prevent vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them At Cylera, we help hospitals build this layered approach—because protecting data is just as important as keeping systems online. ??
