Bradenton, Fla.-based Manatee Memorial Hospital reported it was affected by a "sophisticated ransomware attack incident," according to the Bradenton Herald.
During the incident, the attacker accessed and encrypted some computer systems of ESO, a software vendor partner of Manatee Memorial.
ESOidentified the ransomware attack Sept. 28 and immediately took its systems offline to secure the network. A third-party organization helped investigate the attack. The data from an unidentified number of patients may have been compromised.
