Biysk hospitals face wave of phishing attacks targeting employee medical data
Biysk's medical data community is on high alert after a wave of sophisticated phishing attacks targeting hospital employees. Scammers are impersonating management and exploiting the Gosuslugi portal to gain access to personal data.
Chief physician Alexey Karnaukhov has issued a stark warning to staff, urging them not to share personal data or verification codes. The scams involve fake groups mimicking official ones, with messages claiming to be from hospital leadership or department heads. Employees of Biysk City Hospital No. 2 and Central City Hospital have been targeted.
Investigations have revealed that scammers are exploiting a 'double payment cancellation' scheme ahead of Black Friday. Two individuals have been identified as hiring attackers to target medical institution employees in Biysk. Residents are advised to remain vigilant, never share personal codes or passwords, avoid suspicious links, and be cautious with messages from unfamiliar senders.
Biysk's medical data community is rallying together to combat these attacks. Employees are being reminded to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity. The investigation continues, with authorities determined to bring the culprits to justice and protect residents' personal data.
