It's not just cyberattacks. Hospital IT leaders have to be on the lookout for another way they could lose their data: "rage deletion."
That happens when a disgruntled, departing employee erases important company data on the way out the door.
One in 6 U.S. workers said a colleague has committed "rage deletion," while one in 20 has admitted to doing it themselves, according to a study from data company CrashPlan. That number is slightly higher in healthcare, where 5.08% said they've erased important company files or data.
Across all industries, the roles most likely to delete data in a fit of rage are designers and design engineers (11%), writers and editors (9%), and programmers and developers (7%) and video producers (7%). The workers tended to be disengaged and frustrated, seeking new jobs, and less likely to have gotten cybersecurity training.
