9.1
Physicians say HBO Max’s 'The Pitt' season-two cyberattack storyline mirrors real-world hospital ransomware crises that surged in 2025 and coincided with the University of Mississippi Medical Center incident, which closed more than 30 affiliated clinics. Comparitech recorded 445 hospital ransomware attacks in 2025, and a 2026 Medicare analysis found hospitalized patients had a 38% higher risk of death during attacks; federal and state actions aim to strengthen cybersecurity.
