Stolen credit card data can go for up to 15¢. Stolen medical records can net anywhere from $30 to $500, and that's why you're going to see more and more cyberattacks on medical facilities. Eerie County Medical Center was recently hit with ransomware. Instead of paying the requested $44,000, they unplugged for six weeks. CBS did an in-depth story on the hack and the effects on the hospital. If you've ever doubted the impact a cyberattack could have on a business, especially on a medical or healthcare facility, you need to watch this story.
