HHS Update: International Cyber Threat to Healthcare Organizations
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services; May 13, 2017
Ransomware can infect computers multiple ways and may or may not require user interaction. This message outlines several vectors of attack and what users can do to help protect themselves Ransomware can be delivered via email by attachments or links within the email. Attachments in emails can include documents, zip files, and executable applications. Malicious links in emails can link directly to a malicious website the attacker uses to place malware on a system. To help protect yourself, be aware of the following:
- Only open up emails from people you know and that you are expecting. The attacker can impersonate the sender, or the computer belonging to someone you know may be infected without his or her knowledge.
- Don't click on links in emails if you weren't expecting them - the attacker could camouflage a malicious link to make it look like it is for your bank, for example.
- Keep your computer and antivirus up to date - this adds another layer of defense that could stop the malware.

Average Health Insurance Premiums Doubled Since 2013
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services; May 23, 2017
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a new analysis today that shows premiums have doubled for individual health insurance plans since 2013, the year before many of Obamacare's regulations and mandates took effect. The analysis is based on data compiled by the previous Administration, and the report was produced by the Office of The Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE).
"With data that shows average premiums doubling nationwide and Americans paying nearly $3,000 more for health insurance per year, this report is a sobering reminder of why reforming our healthcare system remains a top priority of the Trump Administration. The status quo is unsustainable." - HHS National Spokesperson, Alleigh Marré

Careless Handling' of Private Patient Information Leads to
$387,000 HIPAA Fine
Beth Jones Sanborn for Healthcare IT News; May 24, 2017
St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, part of New York's Mount Sinai Health System, has paid the Department of Health and Human Services $387,200 to settle potential HIPAA violations stemming from a complaint that alleged the organization had mishandled sensitive patient information, HHS announced Tuesday.
The complaint was lodged with the HHS Office for Civil Rights in September 2014 against the Spencer Cox Center for Health. The Center is now known as the Institute for Advanced Medicine, which is part of the Mount Sinai system, and provides comprehensive health services to persons living with HIV or AIDS and other chronic disease.
