In the past we've tried to prevent Lockbit ransomware group from attacking healthcare facilities and non-profit institutions. We have never had success.
The reason why derives from either ignorance on their end (intentional, or not, it's up to your interpretation), and ambiguity of their ruleset from affiliates.
Recently Lockbit ransomware group attacked a non-profit healthcare institute in Chicago. The facility is Saint Anthony Hospital. The facility clearly states they're a non-profit and religious institution. Attacking this facility is a blatant violation of the Lockbit ruleset which is defined by their administrative staff.
However, when we approached the Lockbit administration we received a reply with a link to the organizations financial disclosures. Lockbit ransomware group believes that a non-profit institution in the United States means employees are not paid and the organization quite literally has no money.
In other words, they will not ransom a company if they quite literally have no money.
If you attempt to educate and present information to Lockbit administrative staff on non-profit institution laws in the United States they will state the organization is corrupt and they will imply (directly or indirectly) it is a money laundering operation and the facility is dirty and deserves to be ransomed.
In summary: the rules are a facade

Additionally, it should be stated that this pseudo-ruleset applies to educational institutions as well. We are aware of several instances where affiliates ransomed public education facilities (K-12 schools).
When we bring up the fact these are state-funded educational facilities and have no money, they do not believe us or they assert that they do have money because the facility owns computers.
"If they money for computers, they have money to pay me"
