Stud Health Technol Inform. 2019 Aug 21:264:1957. doi: 10.3233/SHTI190732.

Abstract

Malicious e-mails sent intentionally to institutions have caused an increase in data breaches. Measures against these methods must be taken by healthcare institutions to prevent leakage of sensitive personal medical information. As a form of training, we conducted a phishing simulation to gauge the response of the hospital staff to similar email attacks, and to raise awareness about information security protocols.
