Palomar Health Medical Group’s computer systems still down nearly 2 months after ‘suspicious activities’

Posted on June 28, 2024 by Dissent

Alexander Nguyen reports:

Palomar Health Medical Group’s (PHMG) phones and computer systems are still down after “suspicious activities” nearly two months ago.

Palomar Health said it discovered the problem on May 5, which was affecting certain computer systems, and quickly took those systems offline to prevent the spread of possible malware.

The health care system said it is working with a third party to investigate the source and restore those systems as soon as possible.

Sabbir Hasan, however, said Palomar has been less than forthcoming with information about what happened. He only found out the issue when he took his parents to see their doctors last month and was told the office “didn’t have any medical records” whatsoever.

Read more at KPBS.  So far, DataBreaches has not found any ransomware group claiming responsibility for the attack. Visitors to Palomar’s website  today see a pop-up informing them, “We are currently experiencing technical difficulties and may take longer than normal to respond.”  A more detailed status update is linked from the home page notice.
