Singing River Health System temporarily shut down access to patient medical records - DataBreaches.Net

""Singing River Health System recently identified a potential cyber incident in its early stages and immediately took action out of an abundance of caution," officials say in a press release. "As part of our normal response, we proactively shut down select systems - including internet access - while we fully assess and validate any potential threat. As a result, patients are temporarily unable to access MyChart at this time.""

""No further information has been released as yet about what triggered their response, but hopefully, this is not going to have the same unhappy consequences as in 2023, when the health system was the victim of an attack by the Rhysida group, and almost 900,000 were affected, although the health system had claimed early on that they had spotted the attack early and thwarted a big attack. DataBreaches had reported on the 2023 incident at the time (see the Related links below).""

Singing River Health System identified a potential cyber incident in its early stages and proactively shut down select systems, including internet access, to assess and validate any threat. As a result, patients temporarily lost access to MyChart. A later Facebook post reported that MyChart access was restored. No further details about the trigger or an actual breach have been released. No group has claimed responsibility and the health system has not posted an update or confirmed a breach on its website. The system previously suffered a 2023 Rhysida attack that affected almost 900,000 people.
