ABSTRACT
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.
