20 million Americans in 21 states ‘are still at risk of dangerous healthcare after cyberattack’: IT breach at one of biggest hospital chains in the US has already caused overdoses, cancer delays and ambulance diversions

Posted on November 12, 2022 by Dissent

Caitlin Tilley reports:

Twenty million Americans are at risk of ‘dangerous’ healthcare after a cyberattack at one of the country’s biggest hospital chains last month, security experts have told DailyMail.com.

CommonSpirit Health — a system that runs 140 hospitals, and more than 1,000 care sites including cancer clinics, surgery hubs and stroke centers— suffered a major IT breach on October 3 in a ransomware hack.

The FBI, Department of Justice and CommonSpirit have refused to comment on the scale of the attack, how many sites were affected and whether or not the issue has been resolved — despite multiple requests by DailyMail.com.

Read more at Daily Mail as the report has specific examples of impact. Tilley also cites DataBreaches with respect to attribution for the breach.
