In a new study, it has been found that healthcare organizations are being increasingly targeted by attackers because they are seen as an easy target. In the first 9 months of 2019 alone, there has been a 60% increase in trojan malware detections. The rise has been particularly significant in the third quarter of this year, with an 82% increase in detections when compared with the previous quarter.

These trojans can be used as a gateway to deliver other malicious payloads, and have been used to drop ransomware onto compromised systems
