So Far, the Sector Appears to Have Escaped a Major Disruption

While WannaCry has spread to North America, the impact on healthcare entities so far appears to be relatively limited, The Healthcare Information Trust Alliance, a cyber threat information sharing organization, told Information Security Media Group on Monday.
“One member within the community has identified an indicator [of infection]; however, it was contained quickly,” HITRUST reported.
