When Hospitals Go Dark and Browsers Turn Rogue

Recent incidents across healthcare, finance, and infrastructure reveal attackers exploiting lateral movement to maintain long‑term footholds. In Belgium a hospital shut down its servers after an undetected breach, while U.S. health providers endured weeks‑long unauthorized access. Phishing and malicious browser extensions further enable initial entry, and compromised IoT/OT devices provide persistent footholds. Experts stress network segmentation and east‑west traffic blocking as the most effective containment measures.
