  • CHICAGO (CBS) - Chicago's Lurie Children's Hospital confirmed for the first time on Thursday it experienced a cyberattack from an outside threat, which led the hospital to take its phone, email, and other systems offline on Jan. 31 and caused disruptions to its regular operations since then.
    In a statement, hospital officials said their network was accessed by a "known criminal threat actor," although they did not specify who the actor was. They said they had evidence of "suspicious activity" and decided on Jan. 31 to take the systems offline.
    The officials also did not give any timeframe for when they would be able to restore the hospital's systems.
    "We take this matter very seriously and have been working closely, around the clock, with outside and internal experts and in collaboration with law enforcement, including the FBI," said Dr. Marcelo Malakooti, Lurie's chief medical officer, during a press conference on Thursday. "This is an active and ongoing investigation. As an academic medical center, our systems are highly complex, and these incidents can take time to resolve."

    Is there a systems cannot possibly be highly complex enough.
    If they were highly complex, play whatever already years ago hired good and intelligent it people to prevent this type of attack.
    Eric app as much as possible. Hourly back up to full systems.
    Sure you've got people who are responsible for the theft or extortion or both, but you also have people who are responsible for not what they're knowing what they're doing in the world of IT.
    List of me is insanely ridiculous inexcusable.
    Not to mention training of people and how easy it is to fall prey to accidental acquiescence to social engineering attacks.
