Cyber incident shuts down Otsego Memorial Hospital computers | Local News
A cyber incident at Otsego Memorial Hospital in Gaylord, Michigan, forced a shutdown of the facility’s computer system in October. Although officials believe no patient data was breached, the situation is still under investigation. Cyberattacks on hospitals are on the rise, as hackers often target them with ransomware that locks up records until a ransom is paid. If not paid, hackers may release patient data on the dark web.
