Cybercriminals Flock to Healthcare Businesses as Attacks Surge

Cyberattacks against hospitals and clinics increased modestly in the first half of 2026, while attacks targeting healthcare service providers and related businesses more than doubled during the same period.

Why it matters: Healthcare IT teams and service providers face accelerating threat pressure; practitioners should prioritize monitoring and incident response readiness given the rapid shift in attacker focus to administrative and support functions.
