Eskenazi Health confirmed the threat actors behind the ransomware attack launched on Aug. 4 exfiltrated patient data prior to the deployment and leaked the stolen information online in the days following the attack and subsequent network outage.
The Indianapolis-based health system was forced into electronic health record (EHR) downtime procedures after the attack was launched, prompting the IT to quickly shut down the IT network to prevent the attack from spreading and to protect patient safety. The incident impacted all Eskenazi Health care sites.
For now, Eskenazi Health is continuing to work with the FBI on their investigation into the attack.
