Did you know that healthcare ransomware attacks went up 14% in the first half of 2026?

While attacks on hospitals and providers stayed relatively flat (with some even dropping in the US), attacks on healthcare businesses and vendors, notably billers, suppliers, and tech firms. The increase of 36%, a shift worth paying attention to. Attackers have figured out that compromising one vendor can open the door to multiple health systems at once.

Meanwhile, the NSA just warned that state-sponsored actors are actively exploiting misconfigured network devices across critical infrastructure, with healthcare flagged as high-risk. And HIPAA Security Rule updates meant to strengthen cyber requirements? Stalled for another year.

Interesting data point for anyone watching how AI is reshaping the internet: a new study found that broader ChatGPT Search access cut traditional search queries by up to 17% over time — and academic/reference searches took the biggest hit. ChatGPT also sends way fewer outbound clicks than Google (5.2% vs 31.1%), and directs people to a different corner of the web entirely. Worth a look, link in the comments.

A new research paper compares how often ChatGPT and Google send people to websites, and what wider ChatGPT Search access did to search.
