Summary
The rise of crime-as-a-service (CaaS) in cybercrime reflects a troubling evolution within the digital threat landscape, enabling even inexperienced attackers to efficiently conduct cyber operations through subscription-based models. Services like phishing-as-a-service and one-time password (OTP) bots allow individuals to launch sophisticated attacks with minimal technical skills by renting tools and infrastructure. This shift emphasizes the increasing accessibility and professionalism of cybercriminal activities, posing significant risks to healthcare systems that rely on digital data security. For healthcare professionals, understanding these changing tactics is crucial for reinforcing cybersecurity measures and protecting sensitive patient information.
