H-ISAC TLP White: Hacking Healthcare June 23, 2022

This week, Hacking Healthcare begins by examining new telehealth guidance from HHS that looks to address how HIPAA-covered entities can continue to provide certain telehealth services while remaining compliant with the HIPAA privacy and security requirements. Specifically, we analyze what the guidance might portend for HHS’s current enforcement discretion, which alleviates covered-entity compliance, as well as what Health-ISAC members should start to think about doing in response. Next, we briefly cover news of two large-scale international operations to take down malicious botnets. We investigate how the benefits of these actions go far beyond the short-term disruptions caused and how international law enforcement capacity building in relation to cyber is on the rise. Welcome back to Hacking Healthcare.
