Hospital Chain Offline After Cyber Attack
iSpeech
The FBI is investigating a Monday cyberattack that took the records systems offline at MedStar Health Inc. The Washington D.C. area chain of hospitals is the latest medical institution to have its systems compromised by anonymous hackers. Local TV station WTOP reported the chain’s hospitals were using pen and paper backup systems. A company spokesperson would not provide additional information on the attack. It is not known whether hackers demanded a ransom. The spokesperson said patient care had not been affected. The Medstar outage comes a month after a Los Angeles hospital paid a 40 Bitcoin ransom (about $17,000) to remove malware from its systems.
