TrapX conducted a massive counter-intelligence cyber-deception operation to extract information on hacking activities targeting the US healthcare system.

In order to do this, TrapX setup an entire fake healthcare provider network, and disseminated access credentials for it in the Darknet market. Several attacks by cyber criminals occurred as a result, revealing fresh information of their brilliant and modern tactics.

Many shocking new discoveries were found. Here are some highlights:

  1. The broad penetration by threat actors into healthcare networks.
  2. The use of medical device hijacking to compromise patient safety and data.
  3. The Inner workings of the Darknet market trading in healthcare-related information.
