Security experts say AI is accelerating attacks while local hospitals and smaller organisations struggle to harden their systems. The articles also warn of vulnerabilities in connected medical devices and of prompt injection.
Who is affected and how
- health IT

- hospital manager
- Hospital executives must treat care continuity and ransom risk as a separate budget item.
- medtech company
- Medtech companies must reduce known critical vulnerabilities in network-connected devices at the manufacturing end.
