Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute confirms cyberattack

Posted on December 1, 2023 by Dissent

Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute (PCLI) is dealing with a cyberattack that LockBit claimed responsibility for.

 

An undated notice on its website states that their communications systems and computers have been disrupted by a cyberattack.

“Our clinical and surgical equipment is operational and unaffected and we continue to see patients. Although some appointments have been canceled, we’re doing all we can to minimize that,” the notice states.

 

 

LockBit3.0 added PCLI to its leak site on November 29, and only gave them until November 30 to respond:

 

An attempt to update the status of the incident today found that the listing was no longer on LockBit’s leak site, although the communications disruption notice is still on PCLI’s website. Whether the LockBit listing was taken down to update or taken down because PCLI is negotiation or has paid LockBit is unknown to DataBreaches, but this site will continue to check to see if the listing reappears.
