One potential method of hacking into a hospital's records is through a wearable device. Often, wearable devices are used by health care institutions to monitor blood pressure or other health conditions. However, such devices expose vulnerabilities in the system. $($Shindell$,2018)$ argues that hackers increasingly integrate malware to infect such devices and then use them as foundations upon which to attack the health care institution's IT systems. Specifically, Shindell, $2018,$ maintains that ransomware is especially pernicious. "During an attack, victims will typically encounter a screen giving them directions for paying a ransom to retrieve their data..." "More than half of hospitals surveyed were hit with ransomware in the previous $12$ months."
