Summary
warns that healthcare professionals and organizations must be aware of the growing dangers posed by malicious parked domains, particularly those that mimic legitimate health-related websites. As over 90% of visits to such domains lead to exposure to scams and malware, there is an urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity measures within healthcare systems to safeguard sensitive patient information and maintain trust. Since many users rely on direct navigation for accessing online health resources, implementing strict URL validation and educating staff about the risks associated with mistyped domains will be crucial in mitigating potential threats. This shift highlights the necessity for ongoing vigilance in the face of evolving digital threats in the healthcare sector.
