Hackers are set to escalate attacks against multiple healthcare organizations in the United States by utilizing hacked access to an instance of ScreenConnect, a popular remote desktop tool, belonging to Transaction Data Systems (TDS).
TDS is a pharmacy supply chain and management systems solution provider with offices in all 50 states in the US. At this point, the researchers, from managed security platform Huntress, don’t know exactly how the attackers accessed the instance. They do know that they used this access to drop malware to endpoints belonging to two distinct organizations: one in the pharmaceutical sector and the other in healthcare.
