Hi there !!
Hospitals are the are the main target as they provide rely on up-to-date information from patient records.
Without the access to the patient's drug histories,and other information,
the care that must be given to the patient gets halted .
This makes the hospitals to pay a ransom rather than risk , which can cause deaths.
The hospitals stopped all network operations so as to prevent the malware from spreading.
Hence , as a result , health-care professionals could not access email or could not schedule patient visits or even their operations.
Therefore , the hospitals reverted to paper records for the purpose of scheduling.
