St. Louis-Based Health System Under Attack

  • Summary

  • Hospitals across the US are facing cyber attacks, impacting their clinical operations and patient care. The Ascension Network, a St. Louis-based health system with 140 hospitals, detected an attack on their online systems and had to sever connections. This has led to disruptions in services, such as healthcare workers losing access to critical systems like Epic, which stores patient medical information. The attack highlights the need for stronger cybersecurity measures in the healthcare industry and the potential risks of patient information being exposed. Training and awareness among healthcare workers are crucial in preventing such attacks.
