2 weeks now, getting worse ofa torn or ruptured peck. Last week tried emailing the Dr to get an mri scheduled the patient portal was down. Landed going to er Sunday such a waste of time. The entire system is down, mri are done before 5pm no ultrasound tech to read muscles. Left with what they assume it's a torn or ruptured peck and 2 rx's. Lucky I had a physical scheduled for yesterday but that was canceled due to the entire system being down. Told them I need an mri asap.
Come to find out this health provider parent company Ardant had a ransom attack which was discovered Thanksgiving. Ardent is in several states.

I really didn't want to go to the er but had no choice Sunday. Now I really don't want to go to the er again (different one) & spend another $100. I need an mri to see the severity and get the ball rolling if I need surg. The pain and injury is getting worse day by day

Why are cyberattacks on the rise? Russia China? Or some punk just wanting money?
Various large hospitality companies and banks mortgage companies now Healthcare providers.
Is America under a cyber war and we're losing?

and your medical records are all on-line...

Yup

I was at the doctors office today and their computers have been slow since last week so I wonder if they’ve tightened up security after this and their network can’t take it.

Normally is say that's pretty common but given this situation you never know. Hopefully they caught wind and are tightening up their systems

I think it will only get worse

I agree. It begs the question at what point does the white house and or pentagon finally admit this is cyber war instead of sweeping it under the rug?
We are constantly being hit with these attacks yet they barely make news.
