Marty Stempniak reports:
An East Coast imaging group remains closed more than one month after a cyberattack, according to reports from local media.
Pinehurst Radiology Associates recently gave notice of the incident, launching an investigation amid suspicious activity on its network. Located in the Sandhills of North Carolina’s Moore County, the practice hired legal counsel and cybersecurity specialists following the attack in late January.
Little has changed as of March 12, with Pinehurst Radiology still closed “for the foreseeable future,” the Pilot newspaper noted. Local reports have emerged that the practice has shuttered, but the outlet could not confirm them.
“While PRA is committed to restoring its network environment, certain systems remain offline and PRA is not able to schedule patients for mammography or ultrasound services,” the company said in a statement.
