Ca: Hacked hospitals sending 326K letters to patients in Windsor, elsewhere

Posted on April 4, 2024 by Dissent

Taylor Campbell reports:

Hundreds of thousands of patients, including many in Windsor-Essex, whose personal information was posted to the dark web following a cyberattack last fall will soon receive letters from impacted hospitals.

“One patient is clearly too many,” said Windsor Regional Hospital CEO David Musyj.

He called criminal cyberattacks “disgusting acts, particularly when aimed at vulnerable populations, including those who come to our hospitals for care and the hard-working and dedicated front-line staff who care for them.”

Read more at Windsor Star.   Further down in the news story, there is this: “This week, the CEOs reported that most systems were back online, and that the patient experience was mostly back to normal.”  Mostly? That’s a long time for services to have been affected or disrupted.
