Cyber attacks are hitting too close to home in the dental industry. ADA was
attacked in April by a new ransomware gang, resulting in service disruptions to dentists
and dental associations nationwide. According to Verizon’s 2022 Data Investigation Report,
ransomware breaches increased by 13%, and 82% of breaches involved the “human element.”
One of the easiest ways for these aggressive cyber gangs to get into your
system is through email trickery. Phishing emails will look like they come
from a legitimate source. They may be personalized to appear to be from a
trusted person or company. They want you to take a seemingly harmless
action, like making a phone call, clicking a link, or providing login or other
information that gives them a key to hold your practice hostage. Then they
demand a ransom in order for you to get your practice up and running again.
