Dear Kiltesh Patel
CEO of tab32 dental practice management software

A recent report says “60% of organizations hit by ransomware-as-a-service attacks in the past 18 months.”
***
QUERY: Doesn’t that mean that 60% of tab32 customers have been hit by ransomware as well?
QUERY: Have you yet come to the conclusion that ignoring dentists’ and patients’ concerns about security is a bad business decision?
Give it time!
COMMENTS AND THOUGHTS ARE APPRECIATED.

E-prescriptions in dentistry – This won’t end well.
Just as insurers back away from ransomware coverage, Dentrix doubles down on promoting e-prescription software. Doc, do you think dental patients really need e-prescriptions? Why?
“Insurers run from ransomware cover as losses mount” By Carolyn Cohn for Reuters, November 19, 2021
https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/insurers-run-ransomware-cover-losses-mount-2021-11-19/
Summary:
– Lloyd’s of London discourages cyber expansion-sources
– Ransomware as profitable as Colombian cocaine cartels
– Some insurers asking policyholders to pay half of ransoms
– Attackers change strategy from scattergun to focused
Electronic prescriptions offer ransomware attackers huge, vulnerable targets to focus on. Paper prescriptions – not so much. So if electronic prescriptions offer NO TANGIBLE BENEFIT to offset dental patients’ risk of medical identity theft, why bother?
