In this episode, Richard Simmons brings you the latest updates in healthcare cybersecurity, starting with a widespread hacking incident involving TP-Link routers, where thousands have been compromised, raising concerns about consumer-grade network security. He also covers Microsoft's response to blue screen errors in Windows Server 2025, as well as recent SEC fines imposed on companies for insufficient disclosure around the SolarWinds breach.

Further, the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre has uncovered "Pigmy Goat," a Linux malware targeting Sophos XG firewall devices, allegedly linked to Chinese threat actors. Richard discusses New York State's newly enacted hospital cybersecurity regulations, which now mandate reporting breaches within 72 hours, and highlights a ransomware attack by Rhysida in Columbus, Ohio, affecting 500,000 individuals.

In addition, he sheds light on a HIMSS Healthcare Cybersecurity Forum discussion, which underscored third-party vendor risks, exemplified by the Change Healthcare breach impacting 150 million users. Finally, Richard closes with a critical update from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), adding two new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, urging organizations to mitigate these threats to secure their systems effectively.
