Cybercriminals are stealing multimillion-dollar payouts from healthcare payment processors by compromising user login credentials, the FBI warns the healthcare industry.
In a Wednesday alert, federal agents say they’ve received multiple reports of cybercriminals redirecting into their pockets payments from providers.
In recent incidents, cybercriminals used employees’ publicly available personally identifiable information and deployed social engineering techniques to impersonate care providers and gain access to healthcare portals, payment information and websites, the FBI says.
“Cybercriminals will continue targeting healthcare payment processors through a variety of techniques, such as phishing campaigns and social engineering, to spoof support centers and obtain user access,” the FBI warns.
