News of Ransomware hitting Healthcare keeps on coming. The main groups still targeting that vertical have been going after VPN single factor auth into environments. It's 2024: hard token or app-based 2FA should be mandatory, and anything legacy should be segmented.

My friend Krypt3ia is still searching for a remote CTI role after being caught in the layoff cycle. He's got years of solid experience and technical chops - including LLM training. If you've got leads, ping me and I can pass them along or share his resume. RT for reach pls.
