Pelanggaran Vastaamo: Peretas yang Memeras Pasien Psikoterapi

October 27, 2020 by Winnie the Pooh

Aktor siber telah meretas sistem raksasa psikoterapi Vastaamo – dan mengancam akan mengekspos file pasien mereka jika mereka tidak membayar uang tebusan.

Vastaamo yang berbasis di Finlandia, yang memiliki lebih dari 40.000 pasien psikoterapi, mengatakan di situs webnya bahwa daftar pelanggannya kemungkinan besar telah disusupi antara akhir November 2018 dan Maret 2019 (tidak jelas mengapa datanya baru muncul sekarang).

Menurut Vastaamo dan berbagai korban yang dilaporkan berbicara di Twitter, para penjahat siber sekarang mendekati pasien dan menuntut uang tebusan 200 € (Rp 3,5 juta) dari mereka – yang jumlahnya akan meningkat menjadi 500 € (Rp 8,7 juta) jika mereka tidak membayar dalam waktu 24 jam.

Para penyerang juga dilaporkan meminta 450.000 € (Rp 7,8 miliar) dalam bentuk Bitcoin dari Vastaamo.

Jack Mannino, CEO di nVisium, mengatakan kepada Threatpost bahwa banyak penyedia layanan kesehatan skala kecil hingga menengah dan lembaga pendidikan swasta tidak memiliki kontrol dan perlindungan keamanan dasar – seringkali karena tidak adanya pemahaman atau sumber daya untuk mengatasi tantangan ini.

“Sayangnya, lembaga-lembaga ini seringkali tidak memiliki kemampuan internal untuk melakukan pemantauan keamanan dan pengerasan lingkungan mereka secara terus menerus,” katanya. “Saat permukaan serangan mereka terus meningkat, data pasien akan tetap menjadi target di seluruh penyedia layanan kesehatan dan sekolah.”

“Meskipun semua kebocoran, terutama yang terkait dengan kesehatan pasien, bersifat sensitif, jenis data ini tidak sesederhana kasus tekanan darah tinggi,” kata Ray Kelly, insinyur keamanan utama di WhiteHat Security, kepada Threatpost.

“Kemampuan penyerang untuk mengungkapkan catatan psikologis pasien dapat sangat merusak reputasi seseorang dan memengaruhi banyak aspek, seperti hubungan atau karier mereka. Insentif bagi seseorang untuk membayar aktor jahat sangat tinggi dalam situasi ini.”
