A Study of Cyber Threats on Physical and Mental Health With Special Reference to Pandemic Times

Abstract

Cyber security has always been critical for safeguarding sensitive information, but in recent years, its impact on physical health has become increasingly apparent. The need for cyber security has become more critical in the digital age, as cyber threats have become more sophisticated and pervasive. As healthcare becomes increasingly digitized, the need for robust cyber security measures has become more important than ever. Cyber-attacks on healthcare systems can have devastating consequences on patient care, as the loss of crucial patient information can lead to delays or errors in medical treatment. Moreover, the pandemic has accelerated the shift to remote healthcare and telemedicine, leading to an increase in cyber-attacks on personal devices used for medical purposes, such as laptops and smartphones. These attacks can compromise personal health data, leading to delayed or ineffective medical treatment.
