At Los Angels the computers were completely down for a week after some malicious software ended up its internal network. Patients were transferred to other hospitals because of the outage.
They connected medical devices and portals as well. The attackers at Los Angels have asked for $3.6 million to decode the system and also hospital files, COS Reports. The staff at Los Angels were asked to turn fax machines, landline telephones and to write medical reports on paper.
According to COS, the incident was unexpected, like a hospital staffer clicked a malicious link that eventually spread the malware throughout network. The hospital management didn’t respond to a request as it hadn’t expected on how far the attack has spread, what kind of malicious software has infected its network.
