Healthcare companies are among the most impacted organizations, with the corrupt file affecting about half the members of the Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center, says Errol Weiss, chief security officer for the Health-ISAC.

Many organizations had Windows-based medical devices, and now they are likely looking at a long-tailed recovery, says Weiss.
“My guess is that a lot of automated remediation was shared on Friday and Saturday—those methods probably helped a lot to get to the majority of completion,” he says, referring to tools and scripts provided by Microsoft,CrowdStrike, and other companies. “But some of those scripts and automated fixes probably won’t work on the kinds of devices that we’re talking about, and now healthcare organizations have to take a manual look.”
