A Hollywood hospital whose computer systems were locked up by
ransomware earlier this month (original story below) has paid
$17,000 in bitcoins to regain access to its data. It’s
believed the hackers had originally demanded $3.4 million from
the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles, but
the hospital said Wednesday that any reports suggesting it
paid that amount are false.
Commenting on the decision to hand over $17,000, Allen
Stefanek, president of the medical center, said in a release,
“The malware locks systems by encrypting files and demanding
ransom to obtain the decryption key. The quickest and most
efficient way to restore our systems and administrative
functions was to pay the ransom and obtain the decryption key.
In the best interest of restoring normal operations, we did
this.”
Stefanek said the hospital’s electronic medical records system
was restored at the start of this week, adding that it was now
working with a team of experts “to understand more about this
event.”
The attack occurred on February 5, and while it caused serious
disruption for several weeks, the hospital insists there’s no
evidence to suggest patients’ medical records were accessed by
the hackers at any point.
The FBI is investigating the incident.
Original story published on February 16, 2016:
Ransomware is always going to present a major headache for any
victim, but when a hospital is at the center of an attack, the
matter suddenly appears more threatening, with the stakes
potentially a whole lot higher.
Take the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Its computer systems have been offline for more than a week
following a ransomware attack, with hackers reportedly
demanding a $3.4 million payment to restore access, CSO
reported Monday.
Staff are understandably having a hard time coping, with
procedures such as CT scans unable to be carried out. In some
cases, patients are being ferried to nearby medical facilities
for treatment.
The ongoing incident also means hospital workers are unable to
gain access to important documents, patient data, and emails.
Instead, staff have had to step back in time, firing up fax
machines and making more use of pens and paper to keep track
of work at the facility.
The hospital has confirmed the attack, and says that so far it
has no evidence to suggest patients’ medical records have been
accessed by the hackers, the BBC reported.
The FBI and LAPD are now examining the incident, but with the
ransom unpaid and the investigation ongoing, those working at
the facility have been told to keep off their computers until
further notice. The hospital hasn’t said publicly how it’s
dealing with the situation, or revealed what kind of data
backup systems it has in place.
It’s not clear how the hospital’s computer systems were
infected with the ransomware, but it may have been a simple
case of a member of staff clicking on a malicious link or
attachment in an email. Such action would then have opened the
way for the malware to automatically take over a system,
locking users out until a sum of money is paid to the hackers.
It’s possible cybercriminals targeted the hospital in the
belief that, considering the important nature of its work,
it’d be more likely to pay up. However, there’s been no
indication that the facility intends to do that.
