CA: Enloe targeted by ransomware attack and elective procedures delayed

Posted on January 9, 2020 by Dissent

I missed this one when it was first published.  Ashley Gardner reported on January 3:

 Enloe Medical Center was targeted by a ransomware attack on Tuesday that caused the hospital to reschedule some elective procedures.

According to hospital officials, data stored on the hospital’s network was encrypted, preventing staff from accessing the information.

Read more on KRCR.  Amy Rock had an update today that noted that the attack had also resulted in the hospital and clinic phone systems being deactivated but they were restored on Friday.

Kevin Woodward, CFO of the medical center, said there is no evidence suggesting patient medical data has been compromised.

The hospital is working with the FBI and a security consultant to restore its systems and will provide updates as they become available, officials said
