Schneck Medical Center cyberattack triggers prolonged electronic-record downtime
On September 29, 2021, Schneck Medical Center discovered a cyberattack that led it to suspend IT applications. For more than a week clinicians relied on paper documentation while electronic medical records were inaccessible and telephone operations intermittently faltered. Most in-person medical services remained open, limiting the supported impact to degraded service processes.
