Cybersecurity in healthcare is a very real threat with the potential to severely disrupt patient care, place extra burden on an already strained system, and result in significant financial losses for a hospital or healthcare network. In October 2020, on the backdrop of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, our institution experienced one of the most significant cyberattacks on a healthcare system to date, lasting for nearly 40 days. By sharing our experience in radiology, and specifically in breast imaging, including the downtime procedures we relied upon and the lessons that we learned emerging from this cyberattack, we hope to help future victims of a healthcare cyberattack successfully weather such an experience.
医疗保健领域的网络安全是一个非常现实的威胁，它有可能严重扰乱患者护理，给已经紧张的系统增加额外负担，并给医院或医疗保健网络造成重大财务损失。2020 年 10 月，在持续的 COVID-19 大流行背景下，我们的机构遭遇了迄今为止针对医疗保健系统的最严重的网络攻击之一，持续了近 40 天。通过分享我们在放射科的经验，特别是在乳腺成像方面的经验，包括我们依赖的停机程序以及我们从这次网络攻击中吸取的教训，我们希望帮助未来的医疗保健网络攻击受害者成功应对这种情况。
