Episode 407
Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
This episode explores how catastrophic ransomware attacks like the Change Healthcare and Ascension incidents have transformed cybercrime from a financial nuisance into a lethal patient safety emergency. We uncover the emerging threats defining 2026, including AI data poisoning, "ghost bug" vulnerabilities in legacy medical devices, and the fragile interdependence of the global diagnostic supply chain. Finally, we break down the federal government’s aggressive new enforcement against information blocking and the "Secure by Design" mandates essential for hospital survival.
