## Resource

A massive cyberattack has crippled major U.S. healthcare providers, exposing patient data and halting critical care as ransomware encrypts vital systems. With appointments canceled and staff forced to rely on paper records, the human toll is mounting — patients face anxiety and treatment delays while investigators scramble to identify the hackers. Outdated infrastructure and weak cybersecurity defenses have made hospitals prime targets, sparking urgent calls for investment and training to prevent future breaches and rebuild trust.
