Summary
McLaren Health Care successfully restored its IT systems days ahead of schedule after an August 6 ransomware attack, allowing it to resume normal operations across its 13 Michigan hospitals and associated centers. The incident initially forced the diversion of emergency care patients and the implementation of temporary procedures. As of now, all departments, including emergency, diagnostic, cancer, and specialty care facilities, are fully operational, and surgeries postponed due to the outage are being rescheduled. The task of manually inputting patient data recorded during the disruption is ongoing. The cybercriminal group Inc Ransom has claimed responsibility for the attack, and McLaren is still determining if any patient or employee data was compromised. This marks the second ransomware attack on McLaren within a year.
