S. Government agencies that cyber criminals could be targeting them. There are reports that at least four hospitals have already been compromised in recent days with some experts now saying these could be the most dangerous Cyber Attacks ever to hit the u. S.

Three government agencies, including the fbi, are warning they have credible information of an increased and imminent cyber crime threat. Health care providers and hospitals here in the u. S. Cyber criminals are using ransomware, a tool that in this case could block hospitals from accessing their own data and freeze critical operating systems until a ransom is paid. This ransomware is almost impossible to stop, because all it takes is for one employee to click on a malicious link, and that injects the malware into the system, and theyve locked up the data. Reporter overnight sky lakes confirmed a Ransomware Attack compromised its systems though it says no patient information has been compromised.
