European Healthcare Group AMEOS Hit by Major Cyberattack

AMEOS Group, which runs more than 100 healthcare facilities in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, has suffered a severe cyberattack. IT systems were shut down after attackers accessed internal systems and stole personal data belonging to patients, employees, and partners.

Takeaway: Healthcare remains one of the most targeted sectors due to the volume and sensitivity of data it holds. Organizations must prioritize layered protection, data encryption, and tested incident response strategies.
