Impact Analysis of Ransomware Attacks on EMEA Healthcare
Brief
By Assaf Morag, Cybersecurity Researcher
A ransomware attack against a hospital makes headlines. But the attack against other parts of the broader ecosystem including telemedicine providers, diagnostic laboratories, pharmacies, medical software vendors, public health authorities, and medical equipment suppliers rarely make the news, yet they can be just as devastating.
To better understand the scope of this threat, we analyzed ransomware leak-site activity affecting healthcare organizations across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) between 2024 and 2026. The dataset reveals that ransomware groups are increasingly targeting the entire healthcare supply chain rather than focusing exclusively on hospitals.
