On February 8, 2022, Daiyukai General Hospital suffered a malware infection involving Emotet-type viruses on internal computers. This security breach led to the sending of unauthorized emails that impersonated legitimate hospital departments or staff members. Consequently, historical email correspondence and stored address data were leaked, enabling fraudulent communications to external parties. The hospital responded by disinfecting affected devices with security software to remove the malware. It collaborated with internet service providers to analyze logs and understand the attack's extent. Email server protections were strengthened to block similar future attempts. Systems that might have been compromised were quarantined to prevent further data exposure. Recipients of suspicious emails were advised to verify sender addresses and avoid clicking links or opening attachments. These measures aimed to contain the incident and protect external parties from fraud. Ongoing efforts focused on monitoring and improving security protocols to safeguard against recurrence. The event highlighted the vulnerability of healthcare institutions to malware attacks targeting operational and personal data.
