LUMINIS Health says it is making progress restoring systems at two Maryland hospitals following a cyber-attack earlier in September. Anne Arundel Medical Center and Doctors Community Medical Center in Lanham have had their telephone services restored after being affected for several weeks. Luminis Health is the parent organisation for both facilities.
However, other systems remain offline, including the hospitals’ online patient portal, according to an update reported by WYPR on 22 September. Patients therefore need to contact the hospitals by telephone for appointment scheduling, test results, questions and prescription-related matters. The supplied report does not identify the attackers, specify whether data was accessed or stolen, or confirm the type of cyber-attack.
