The FBI has confirmed that there are no specific credible threats against U.S. hospitals following an investigation prompted by a social media post suggesting a coordinated attack. The American Hospital Association (AHA) and the Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Health-ISAC) had previously alerted healthcare facilities about the unverified threats. In response, they advised hospitals to maintain vigilance and security measures to deter potential violence, emphasizing the importance of reporting any suspicious activities to local law enforcement.
