Kettering Health in Ohio is still recovering from a ransomware attack, causing significant disruption in its operations for the past two weeks.
Core components of the electronic health record system have been restored, allowing for updates and access to records, but issues with phone lines and services persist.
Patients are facing challenges such as difficulty in refilling medications, closed emergency rooms, and delays in care due to manual record-keeping processes.
The ransomware gang called Interlock is believed to be behind the attack, with hackers potentially trying to negotiate a ransom payment, making Kettering Health the latest in a series of healthcare companies targeted by cyberattacks.
