The UVM Health Network has made good progress recovering from a cyberattack nearly two months ago, with some work remaining to complete. Today, we shared more information about the attack and our response, and confirmed that it was ransomware. Our IT staff did find a note, which did not request money, but included instructions to contact the criminals responsible for the attack. UVM Health Network leaders did not follow those instructions and instead contacted the FBI.
Seven Days is reporting that this is the first time the hospital network has said this is a ransomware attack even though no ransom was directly requested in an unusual message from the supposed attacker. See Seven Days story HERE.
