If the hackers gained access to patient records, it’s too late to change your password.
You have a trend, of knowing. Eventually huh. 3 10000 300
If they catch whomever did this, charge them not just with the cyber attack but attempted murder for every person that it affects.
Prospect scammed the taxpayers. They shutdown the hospital in Delaware County, PA and paid themselves by borrowing loan in promising that they would improve the hospital. Prospect is a scam themselves. Hackers know that. They deserve it. They have no patients to serve. They drain our blood already.
Apple, google, and the govt hack you everyday by spying on citizens, and that is some how alright?
Thanks a lot to NSA and Snowden
crazy how just yesterday someone cyber attacked wells fargo AND us bank, about a year ago, someone hacked emergency services so no calls were going through, I think our response time is being tested…
hackers LOL
why would anyone hack a hospital?
Shouldn't those patients be given one year of free credit monitoring like other companies do in situations like this?
😰oh no
