The health system said it noticed suspicious activity on its network and took the systems offline, according to an Aug. 21 breach notification from Singing River. 

Its IT security teams are working to restore those systems, and the health system is also working with law enforcement and third-party specialists to learn more about the incident.

Singing River said due to this, it will be operating in downtime procedures.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
