Increase in Cyberattacks: Protect Your Pharmacy

Cybersecurity: Phishing

A new ransomware is targeting businesses, including community pharmacies. This ransomware spreads through phishing emails, exploiting remote desktop protocols, and abusing valid user accounts. Once inside, it encrypts files, deletes backups, and can steal sensitive data.

Protection tips:

  • Ensure your software is up to date.
  • Train staff to recognise phishing attempts.

 

If you experience an incident:

  1. Gather as much information as possible from your vendor.
  2. Complete the Incident Response Form available here.
  3. Notify the Gardai.
  4. Contact the Data Protection Commission.
