An unauthorized user or users accessed the email accounts of a "small number" of University of Chicago Medicine employees, potentially compromising patient health information. 

Hackers accessed the emails of two pediatric health system employees, exposing patient data.

St. Louis-based Ascension said it expects patients and providers to notice progress on its cyberattack response after Memorial Day weekend.

Several hospitals and health systems have reported cybersecurity incidents that have led to compromised patient data and IT systems during May. 

A Wyoming hospital said its financial situation is improving since the Change Healthcare hack but is not back to where it was before the February cyberattack, the Powell (Wyo.) Tribune reported.

A hospital employee inadvertently attached a file to a patient email that exposed the data of thousands of other patients.

Ascension, a 140-hospital system based in St. Louis, continued to deal with the fallout of a ransomware attack more than two weeks after the hack took its IT network offline.

In April, hackers breached the IT network of CentroMed, a healthcare provider based in San Antonio, Texas, compromising the protected health information of 400,000 patients.

Hospitals and health systems continue to be targeted by ransomware hackers, disrupting patient care and costing millions of dollars in recovery costs. 

Multiple hospital groups are urging the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to hold UnitedHealth's subsidiary Change Healthcare accountable for providing breach notifications regarding its February cyberattack. 

There was once honor among thieves. When it came to cyber threats, hackers considered the healthcare industry as the "untouchable" sector, shielded by an unspoken rule that some lines shouldn't be crossed.

St. Louis-based Ascension has started holding meetings with partners and vendors to discuss reconnecting to the health system's network following a May 8 cyberattack.

Trego County Lemke Memorial Hospital, a 25-bed critical access hospital in Wakeeney, Kan., is recovering from a ransomware attack May 6, according to a KAKE.com report, the local ABC affiliate.

Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago said it is "no longer addressing an active cybersecurity matter" after a cyberattack disrupted the hospital's operations earlier this year.

Recent cyberattacks on healthcare organizations have raised concerns about potential financial repercussions, particularly regarding their credit ratings. However, according to Fitch Ratings, these cyber incidents are unlikely to impact the credit standings of the affected organizations.

Paying ransom is typically the only way for healthcare organizations to retrieve their data or restore their systems after a ransomware attack, ransomware negotiators told Politico.

A new agency within the National Institutes of Health is launching a $50 million initiative to develop tools for hospital IT teams that enhance their cybersecurity measures and resources to combat ransomware.

Healthcare leaders are praising St. Louis-based Ascension for its communications response to a recent cyberattack, pointing to the health system's transparency and speed in divulging information.

Binghamton, N.Y.-based Guthrie Lourdes Hospital has also been impacted by the ransomware attack on St. Louis-based Ascension as the healthcare organization used to be a part of the organization. 

A cybersecurity expert said that the ransomware attacks on Change Healthcare and St. Louis-based Ascension has highlighted the healthcare industry's cybersecurity weakness, CNN reported May 15.
