Help Me With HIPAA

Sometimes It's Just a Squirrel - Ep 513


Listen Later

You've heard of phishing scams, ransomware, and all the usual cyber villains—but have you prepared for the wrath of a squirrel? In this episode, we unpack how one fuzzy-tailed offender knocked out power to 11,000 customers and sent a swim club scrambling for pencils and paper. But this isn't just a woodland horror story. It's a real-world reminder that sometimes, your biggest threat isn't a hacker—it's Alfred the squirrel with a death wish and a talent for circuit boards. We use this nutty incident to highlight the often-overlooked need for utility failure preparedness in healthcare and dig into the super-helpful (and criminally underused) ASPR TRACIE tip sheets that can keep your operations steady when nature gets twitchy.
