The foiled attack, which could have involved an array of threats — a system-wide shutdown that could have affected care of children who were patients at the hospital or ransom demands — was planned by hackers who were deemed an 'Advanced Persistent Threat'

– Iranian-backed hackers launched an unsuccessful cyber attack against Boston Children's Hospital in the summer of 2021, FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed Wednesday.

Iran's attempted hack was"one of the most despicable cyberattacks I've seen," Wray said, adding the"quick actions by everyone involved, especially at the hospital, protected both the network and the sick kids who depend on it." Wray told attendees at the cyber conference that the FBI's quick work and partnership with the hospital is a testament to the importance between the private sector and federal investigators in stopping malicious and often state-sponsored cyberattacks.
