"Upon identifying suspicious activity within a portion of our network, we immediately activated our incident response protocols. We moved to down-time procedures to ensure high-quality patient care and safety."
"While surgeries and procedures have not been impacted, chemotherapy infusion services have been canceled, and patients have been notified of potential delays at Signature Medical Group and urgent care practices."
"No known ransomware group appears to have taken credit for the attack on Signature Healthcare, but these types of cybercrime gangs typically wait until negotiations stall or fail before naming victims on their websites to pressure them into paying a ransom."
Signature Healthcare in Brockton, Massachusetts, experienced a cyberattack that led to the diversion of ambulances. While inpatient care and emergency services remained operational, chemotherapy infusion services were canceled, and patients faced potential delays. The organization activated incident response protocols upon detecting suspicious network activity. Although surgeries were unaffected, some retail pharmacies closed temporarily. The nature of the attack remains unclear, with no confirmation of ransomware involvement. Cyberattacks on healthcare organizations have increased globally, sometimes resulting in severe consequences, including data breaches and patient fatalities.
