## Resource

A major cyberattack has crippled a top healthcare provider, locking down critical patient systems and potentially exposing sensitive data. Armed with advanced ransomware, hackers are demanding payment—though experts warn paying only fuels crime and doesn’t ensure recovery. With outdated security systems making hospitals easy targets, the fallout includes delayed care and heightened risks to patient safety. Authorities are racing to trace attackers, restore services, and fortify defenses—while patients face longer waits as staff scramble to keep care alive without tech.
