For example, a cyberattack that knocks a regional power grid offline will impact more than just the utility itself, with potentially devastating consequences for hospitals that can&#8217;t perform life-saving surgeries or access critical medicine for patients, or assisted living centers that can&#8217;t turn on heat or air conditioning for their elderly residents in the middle of a heat wave or cold snap.<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" id=\"story_eagle_xsm_sm_md_xmd_lg_xlg\" data-pos=\"mid\" data-raptor=\"eagle\" data-xsm=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-sm=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-md=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-xmd=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-lg=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-xlg=\",mpu,dmpu,\"> <noscript> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/cso&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33YzqMAR0S2IOX18kvxkzwlwAAAEM&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/cso&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33YzqMAR0S2IOX18kvxkzwlwAAAEM&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" alt> <\/a> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p>This, of course, is what makes critical infrastructure so attractive for cybercriminals looking to inflict maximum damage, as seen by the seemingly constant barrage of government warnings about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2022\/09\/27\/russia_plans_massive_cyberattacks_ukraine\/\">nation-state threat groups targeting<\/a> power and infrastructure facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Not-for-profit hospitals also ranked &#8220;very high&#8221; in terms of their cyber risk. &#8220;We view not for profit hospitals as being highly attractive, data rich targets with average mitigation measures in place to reduce the impact of a potential cyber event,&#8221; according to Moody&#8217;s.
