Healthcare File Transfer Data Breaches 2023
We are only halfway through 2023 and already multiple critical vulnerabilities have been discovered in major secure file transfer applications. The news of the latest MoveIT Transfer vulnerability comes just a few months after a vulnerability in GoAnywhere MFT, another file transfer software, was exploited in a set of attacks which began in late 2021. These vulnerabilities have disproportionately impacted the healthcare sector, including hospitals, health systems, and government agencies [source]. The Russia-linked ransomware group Clop reportedly took responsibility for the mass attack on more than 130 organizations using a zero-day vulnerability in GoAnywhere MFT [source]. The same group is now responsible for a zero day vulnerability in MoveIt Transfer [source].
