Some hospitals and health systems have paid up to get regain access to their systems. Attleboro, Massachusetts-based Sturdy Memorial Hospital recently acknowledged that it paid hackers a ransom payment to prevent patient data from being further distributed following a cyberattack in early February.

Before deploying ransomware on Scripps Health s computer network, cybercriminals stole data on close to 150,000 patients.
The San Diego-based health system said it is notifying 147,267 patients that hackers acquired some health and personal financial information during last month s ransomware attack.
The information could include names, addresses, dates of birth, health insurance information, medical record numbers, patient account numbers, clinical information and treatment information, the health system said.
