Memorial Hospital and Manor in Georgia experienced a ransomware attack on November 1, 2024, which was only announced publicly on February 10 after notifying the Maine Attorney General's Office. Despite reporting that over 120,000 patients were affected, the hospital did not inform HHS nor acknowledge the ransomware publicly.
