Scripps Health slowly coming back online, 3 weeks after attack
Employees at Scripps Health have reported that some systems are gradually coming back online following a cyber attack three weeks ago. However, the Epic-powered patient portal, MyScripps, remains down. Scripps has not provided specific details about the attack or the potential exposure of personal information. Cybersecurity experts suspect that negotiations may be ongoing with the attackers, potentially involving double extortion tactics. The healthcare industry has seen an increase in high-profile ransomware incidents over the past year.
