Small Medical Practices Are Sitting Ducks for Healthcare Cybercrime

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Over 90% of U.S. healthcare providers operate as small organizations, yet a new Paubox report titled "What small healthcare practices get wrong about HIPAA and email security" reveals these practices are unknowingly exposing themselves to cyber attacks and federal compliance violations. 98% of small healthcare organizations falsely believe they're HIPAA compliant Share The study of 214 healthcare IT leaders and practice managers at organizations with fewer than 250 employees found that nearly all small practices (98%) claim their platforms "encrypt emails by default"—but most are using common tools like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace that often fail to provide actual protection. "Nearly half of healthcare email breaches stem from Microsoft 365 alone," the survey found. The problem is that encryption may drop if a recipient's server doesn't support modern protocols, often without any alert to the sender—leaving protected health information completely exposed. The confidence crisis More than 80% of small practices expressed confidence in their current HIPAA compliance posture, but the reality is far different. The survey found widespread misconceptions that are creating massive compliance gaps: 83% believe patient consent removes the need for encryption—a costly misunderstanding. Federal regulations still require "appropriate safeguards" under the HIPAA Security Rule, even when patients agree to electronic communication. Getting a patient's okay to email doesn't eliminate the legal requirement for encryption and other protective measures. 64% believe patient portals are required for HIPAA compliance—yet the regulations say the opposite. HIPAA explicitly gives patients the right to request communication "by alternative means or at alternative locations, if reasonable." Portals are just one option among many, including secure direct email when proper safeguards are in place. 20% don't utilize any form of email archiving or audit trail—leaving one in five practices unable to investigate incidents after they happen or prove compliance during federal audits. These misconceptions create compliance violations that practices don't even realize exist, with healthcare providers unknowingly breaking federal law while genuinely believing they're following the rules. Cybercriminals target the vulnerable Phishing attacks—the leading cause of healthcare breaches—now account for over 70% of healthcare data breaches as of 2024. Small practices are prime targets because they typically lack dedicated security staff, formal training programs, or technical defenses. The survey found that 43% of small healthcare organizations reported experiencing a phishing or spoofing incident in the past year. Meanwhile, about 50% of these organizations lack anti-phishing controls beyond default spam filters, and nearly 99% have not implemented secure email transfer protocols. "Phishing attacks have evolved—they're faster, smarter, and relentless," noted Paubox CEO, Hoala Greevy. "It's not about one-off scams anymore; it's deception at scale." Beyond the breach When breaches occur, small practices face the same serious consequences as large health systems. Recent examples from the past year include: Solara Medical : $9.76 million class-action settlement following a phishing attack : $9.76 million class-action settlement following a phishing attack Sunrise Community Health : Email compromise affecting 54,000+ patients : Email compromise affecting 54,000+ patients Salud Family Health: Phishing attack exposing 80,000+ records Even smaller penalties come with major operational costs. Agape Health, a North Carolina clinic, paid $25,000 for emailing protected health information unencrypted to the wrong recipient, while Vision Upright MRI faced a $5,000 fine plus two years of federal monitoring after a server breach exposed over 21,000 individuals' medical imaging records. In 2025, healthcare breaches took an average of 224 days to detect and another 84 days to contain—over 10 months total. Without proper audit trails, many small organizations lack the systems to spot breaches until it's too late. Stretched thin and vulnerable The survey found that small healthcare practices are operating under dangerous constraints that create the perfect storm for security failures: One-third report not having enough time for compliance tasks—meaning critical security measures get pushed aside during busy patient care schedules. The same number have no clear policies or procedures in place, leaving staff to make up security protocols on the fly. Only half have phishing or spoofing protection enabled, despite facing the same sophisticated attacks that target major health systems. Meanwhile, the average small healthcare employee has access to more than 5,500 sensitive files—creating massive exposure when those unprotected phishing emails inevitably get through. This combination of time pressure, unclear guidance, and broad data access means a single clicked link can expose thousands of patient records. It's a vulnerability that cybercriminals are increasingly exploiting. What HIPAA investigators look for When HHS investigators arrive after a breach, they look for specific documentation that most small practices can't provide: Proof that protected health information was encrypted in transit—not just that platforms "support" encryption Audit logs showing who sent what to whom and whether it was properly protected Evidence of risk assessments documenting understood vulnerabilities Incident response procedures for when things go wrong "Every organization, no matter the size, is required to comply with the HIPAA Security Rule," emphasized Melanie Fontes Rainer, Director of the HHS Office for Civil Rights. "Risk assessments are not optional—they're foundational." The path forward With federal enforcement ramping up and cybercriminals increasingly targeting small practices, the window for voluntary compliance is closing fast. The practices that are getting ahead of this crisis share a common strategy: they've stopped relying on overworked staff to make perfect security decisions every time. Instead, they're implementing systems that encrypt every message automatically, maintain detailed audit trails without extra effort, and block phishing attacks before employees ever see them. "The cost of compliance is far less than the cost of a breach," the survey noted—and recent settlements prove it. At $25,000 to $9.76 million per incident, even "small" violations can devastate a practice's finances and reputation. For the 90% of healthcare providers operating as small organizations, the math is simple: invest in automated protection now, or face the much higher costs of breach response, federal penalties, and lost patient trust later. The choice is becoming less optional every day.

Susan G. Komen ® To Host 2025 Northeast Ohio MORE THAN PINK Walk This September

CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Susan G. Komen ®, the world's leading breast cancer organization, will convene breast cancer survivors, those living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and supporters at the 2025 Susan G. Komen Northeast Ohio MORE THAN PINK Walk. This impactful event unites our community and raises money for the mission of Komen, supporting those affected by breast cancer. Komen aims to raise over $350,000 at the Northeast Ohio MORE THAN PINK Walk, generating critical funds that allow Komen to continue its investment in lifesaving work across the country, including promising research that will allow people to live longer lives with better outcomes. This event also funds Komen's Patient Care Center, a trusted, go-to source for timely, accurate breast health and breast cancer information, support and resources, as well as the work of Komen's Center for Public Policy to drive state and federal policies that invest in critical programs and ensure streamlined access to affordable, high-quality breast health care. WHEN: Saturday, September 20, 2025 WHERE: Wade Oval - 10820 East Blvd, Cleveland, OH 44106 WHY IT MATTERS: Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the U.S. and 1 in 1,000 men in their lifetime. In 2025 alone, an estimated 316,950 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 42,170 women will die from the disease. Approximately 2,800 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 510 will die from it. However, some experts say one-third of breast cancer deaths in the U.S. could be prevented with universal access to modern treatments. In Ohio, approximately over 77,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer and over 24,000 will die from the disease this year. Susan G. Komen provides direct support to Ohioans through its Patient Care Center. In fiscal year 2025, Komen provided assistance to over 1,300 patients, including over $358,000 in financial assistance to eligible people in active treatment or living with metastatic breast cancer. 'The work Komen does for people with breast cancer, survivors and those with increased risk of breast cancer is not possible without the Northeast Ohio MORE THAN PINK Walk and the critical money we raise from our generous supporters,' said Sean Shacklett, executive director Ohio & Michigan at Susan G. Komen. 'We look forward to bringing together the Northeast Ohio community this fall and uniting around our goal of creating a world where we do not lose another life to this disease.' Bank of America is the national presenting sponsor and Lilly, Natera, and Novartis are national series sponsors for the MORE THAN PINK Walk and Race for the Cure events. About Susan G.

knownwell Strengthens Regional Footprint, Opens Second Clinic in the Greater Boston Area

The Company Unveils its Seventh New Weight-Inclusive Care Location in the Last Year, Increasing Patient Population by Nearly 400% BOSTON, August 19, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--knownwell, an in-person and virtual weight-inclusive primary care and metabolic health company that opened its flagship clinic in Needham, Massachusetts in 2023, announces the deepening of its physical presence in the greater Boston area. As the company continues to increase access to weight-inclusive care across the country, the opening of a new clinic will provide additional opportunities for in-person engagement with locally based patients near Woburn, Massachusetts. The news comes on the heels of knownwell opening seven new clinics in the last year, including one in Dallas and six in Chicago, to provide in-person care in the Midwest and South Central regions. It also follows the company's launch of virtual metabolic care to patients in all 50 U.S. states. Today, more than half of adults in Massachusetts are affected by overweight or obesity. In Woburn alone, 1 in 4 adults has obesity. With few options for comprehensive metabolic care in the area, the addition of a new local clinic comes at a pivotal time to support those in need. "Boston has always held a special place in our story – it is where our mission began, and where we proved that weight-inclusive care can change lives," said Brooke Boyarsky Pratt, CEO and Co-Founder of knownwell. "This expansion isn't just about growth; it's about meeting an urgent need in a community that has inspired us from day one. Expanding our footprint here reflects both the significant need and our dedication to delivering accessible, whole-person care to help more people in Massachusetts achieve lasting health." The Woburn clinic arrives amid the demand for GLP-1 medications surging and the cost of treatment continuing to rise, creating new barriers for patients seeking effective, long-term solutions for obesity and overweight. By growing its presence in Massachusetts, the company aims to bridge this gap, delivering treatment that combines clinical, nutritional, and behavioral support to ensure patients receive the full spectrum of care they need to improve their health and quality of life. "When I moved to Massachusetts decades ago, it was to be part of a movement to treat obesity like the chronic disease it is – with science, compassion, and comprehensive care. This expansion in greater Boston is the next chapter in that mission, with knownwell leading the charge," said Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of knownwell, Dr. Angela Fitch. "By increasing access to integrated treatment, we're not just helping individuals improve their health but taking meaningful steps toward reducing obesity rates across the country." With the new opening, knownwell will additionally onboard Dr. Giovanna Leddy, President of the New England Obesity Society, as the new Market Medical Director, overseeing both the Woburn and Needham practices. Dr. Leddy serves as the Associate Director of the Social Justice Pathway within the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and currently practices Obesity Medicine at Atrius Health. She is also a Clinical Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School. knownwell is on a mission to make weight-inclusive healthcare more accessible. It offers full-coverage care, including metabolic health services, comprehensive primary care, nutrition counseling, and behavioral health services online and in person, and accepts insurance.
