Following a “cyber event” where suspicious activity was noted by Norton Healthcare staff, the health care provider is now working with the FBI to determine its origin.
On May 9, Norton Healthcare said it noted some suspicious activity on its devices and also received a threatening fax on that day.
Several networks have remained offline after discovering the suspicious activity.
Norton’s security team is still working to determine what parts of the network have been placed at risk.
On Monday, Norton Healthcare said it restored all desktop email service but still has more work to do before getting all network operations online.
UofL Associate Professor of Computer Science Roman Yampoliskiy said to monitor your credit history because if they got your social security number, they could try applying for credit under your name. But, at this point, we just don’t know what was taken.
Renee Murphy, Norton Healthcare Communications Officer, previously said teams are currently following protocols for times when systems are down. The outage is also not affecting patient care within the health care system.
